The Challenge of the Pierides, from Ovid's Metamorphosis (Book V: 294-678) 16th-17th century Karel van Mander I Netherlandish Like his Italian predecessor Giorgio Vasari, Karel van Mander I is best known as an author, in his case of the first collection of biographies of Netherlandish artists, but he was also a highly skilled and wonderfully imaginative draftsman. This drawing depicts a story told in Ovid's Metamorphoses (5.294-678) in which the nine Pierides, daughters of King Pierus of Emathia, are turned into magpies after losing the singing contest to which they challenged the nine Muses. The scene is set at one of the sacred sources on Mount Helicon or Mount Parnassus. Probably following the example of a print after Rosso Fiorentino, van Mander seems to have cast Apollo as the final judge. This drawing and two similar sheets by van Mander at the Uffizi, Florence, may have been meant as the continuation of an elaborate but aborted series of print illustrations of the Metamorphoses

The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence 1580s-early 1590s Aurelio Luini Italian This large, carefully squared composition by the son of the more famous Lombard painter Bernardino Luini served as a working modello for a fresco that was originally in the church of San Vincenzo alle Monache, Milan (now Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco, Milan). The commission is unrecorded, but stylistic comparison to other altarpieces by the artist suggests a date in the 1580s. The drawing retains a freshness of gesture and a lively rhythm of outline that seem lacking in the admittedly very damaged final fresco. Both the stark frontal foreshortening of the figure of Saint Lawrence and the diagonal thrust of the composition were inspired by Titian's famous canvas of the same subject, painted in 1548-57 (Church of the Gesuati, Venice), which became widely known through a number of painted replicas and Cornelis Cort's reproductive engraving.(Carmen C. Bambach). The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence 340672
