Standing Draped Male Figure. Artist: Baldassarre Franceschini (il Volterrano) (Italian, Volterra 1611-1690 Florence). Dimensions: 15 5/16 x 10 3/8 in. (38.9 x 26.3 cm), max.. Date: ca. 1550.This animated study was drawn in preparation for the figure of Saint John the Evangelist in Franceschini's vault fresco of the Coronation of the Virgin in the Niccolini Chapel of Santa Croce, Florence, executed between 1652 and 1660.Commissioned by the Marchese Filippo Niccolini, this important project also included frescoes of the sibyls on the pendentives, and was regarded as one of the artist's masterpieces by his contemporaries, rivalling the work of Correggio and Giovanni Lanfranco. It was carefully described by Volterrano's earliest biographer, Filippo Baldinucci, in 1681. This drawing illustrates the diligent process by which the artist studied the foreshortened poses of the numerous figures in the composition from living nude models. Drawings such as this enabled Franceschini to paint persp

Many such nude figures holding these emblems appear, in large or small scale, in the frescoed vault of the Sala Clementina in the Vatican Palace painted between 1596 and 1602 by the brothers Giovanni and Cherubino Alberti.

Reclining Female Nude early 17th century Domenico Tintoretto Italian Domenico was the son and pupil of the renowned Venetian master, Jacopo Tintoretto. While the influence of Jacopos rhythmical line is evident in the drawings of his son, Domenico developed an individual style of draftsmanship characterized by softer and more naturalistic modeling, as illustrated in this study of a female nude, one in a series depicting heavily foreshortened figures in various reclining poses, including several others in the Lehman Collection. These studies may have served as reference points for the voluptuous, recumbent figures of Venus and Danae that abound in paintings by the Tintoretto workshop Domenicos series of female nudes epitomize the primacy of drawing after live models in the Tintoretto workshop..

The Virgin and Child with Saint Martina, Another Study of Saint Martina, Studies of a Head, and of an Arcade (recto); Figure Studies (verso) 1596-1669 Pietro da Cortona (Pietro Berrettini) Italian The Roman martyr Saint Martina, kneeling before the Virgin and about to receive a flower from the Christ Child, was a subject frequently painted by Cortona. It was in the course of excavations for the crypt of the church of the Academy of Saint Luke in Rome that the body of Saint Martina was discovered. At the time, Cortona was the architect of the church built on that site between 1635 and 1650 (which was eventually dedicated to both Luke and Martina), and the architectural sketches at the top of the sheet may be related to the artist's plans for the church. Cortona was particularly devoted to the cult of the Roman martyr Saint Martina - a third-century martyr who was put to death for refusing to worship idols - and the subject of another drawing in the Museums collection (inv. 1979.3).Citi
