17th Century Italian Drawings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art

by Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)

The exact chronological boundaries of the seventeenth century are overstepped in this illustrated inventory of Italian baroque draughtsmanship as it is represented in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Innovative work of the Carracci, dating from the last two decades of the sixteenth century, qualifies for inclusion on stylistic grounds, as do drawings by late baroque masters - Marcantonio Franceshini, Benedetto Luti, Sebastiano Ricci, Francesco Solimena - that were produced in the early eighteenth century. ~ Preface.
