Young Hunter with His Dogs in a Landscape. Artist: Giovanni Francesco Castiglione (Italian, Genoa 1641-1710 Genoa). Dimensions: 8 5/16 x 12 1/16in. (21.1 x 30.6cm). Date: 1641-1710.The graphic oeuvre of the elusive Francesco Castiglione, son and loyal assistant of Giovanni Benedetto (1609-1664), can be based largely on the name annotated at the bottom of the sheet by a late-eighteenth-century collector known as the "Reliable Venetian Hand" for the accuracy of his attributions. As a painter, Francesco imitated his father but used a lighter, more saturated palette of colors. As a draftsman, the son preferred a fine pen outline with 'zigzag' strokes for shading and the delicate translucency of watercolor to the father's bold use of the brush and dense application of oil paint on paper. The subject matter of Francesco's two drawings in the Museum's collection reflects the lasting influence of Dutch and Flemish animal paintings, drawings, and prints in Liguria.

Rübezahl 1820-84 Adrian Ludwig Richter German A leading painter and printmaker of the later Romantic period in Germany, Richter produced numerous works inspired by fairytales. This composition is based on an etching he made in 1848 and shows the gnome king Rübezahl addressing a young girl whom he loves, resting near a mountainside stream with several children.

Richter focuses here, however, upon the moment when Rübezahl assumes human form to beguile his beloved. Eventually, he will carry her off to his underground realm.. Rübezahl 334963
