Marches Urbino Palazzo Ducale, Galleria Nazionale delle Marche8. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Post-medieval: First floor: Polyptychs, triptychs, crucifixes, panel paintings, sculpture, frescoes now housed in Museo; stucco decoration in private chapels Object Notes: See also Urbino, Museo Albani. With both sites the negs arrived separately from the prints, yet all negs were labelled as Urbino, Palazzo Ducale, making it difficult to match some negatives to their prints. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.

Two Satyrs in a Landscape. Artist: Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (Italian, Pieve di Cadore ca. 1485/90-1576 Venice). Dimensions: 8-1/2 x 5-15/16 in. (21.6 x 15.1 cm). Date: ca. 1505-10.Form and expression are brought here into full harmony to create one of the great and rare examples of Venetian Renaissance drawing. Only 35 to 40 drawings attributable to Titian are extant, although he was a tirelessly prolific painter. This famous drawing belongs to an early moment in Titian's work, not far removed from that of the Concert Champêtre (Musée du Louvre, Paris), which was painted around 1509. The concern for rendering both, the spirit and the physical form, of landscape is central to this great period of Venetian art. Titian's use of the pen-and-ink technique is exquisitely pictorial, with varied and freely applied strokes and small dabs of luminous white gouache, lending movement, texture, and tonal unity to the scene. His superb mastery of the pen is everywhere apparent, from the foreground
