Saint John the Baptist Baptizing the Multitude 1554-56 Pellegrino Tibaldi Italian The drawing is a study for the lower half of a fresco on the left wall of the Poggi Chapel, representing Saint John The Baptist Baptizing the Multitudes’ (San Giacomo Maggiore, Bologna), and probably dating between 1554 and 1556. The energetic tangle of lines of this drawing recalls the style of Taddeo Zuccaro, who, like Tibaldi, was active in Rome in the 1540s and 1550s. Like Tibaldi's imaginative frescoes for the Palazzo Poggi (for which see also the preparatory study for the figure of Aeolus in the Museum’s collection: acc. no. 2007.127), the frescoes in the Poggi chapel had considerable influence on such Bolognese artists as Samacchini and Passarotti. Moreover, when Lodovico, Agostino, and Annibale Carracci founded their famous academy in Bologna - in which they sought to reform painting through a renewed study of nature combined with a study of the best artworks - the Poggi Chapel was among the mode

The Death of Socrates. Artist: Jacques Louis David (French, Paris 1748-1825 Brussels). Dimensions: Sheet: 11 in. × 16 3/8 in. (27.9 × 41.6 cm). Date: ca. 1786.This sheet is a study for Jacques Louis David's 1787 painting, The Death of Socrates, which entered the Met's collection in 1931. The subject of the Greek philosopher's death in prison was first explored by David in 1782, but he returned to it with renewed purpose when Charles Michel Trudaine de la Sablière, a wealthy conseiller in the Paris parliament, commissioned from him a painting on the theme in 1786. The four intervening years had been critical ones in terms of David's artistic formation and the development of Neoclassicism, marked by such groundbreaking canvases as Andromache Mourning Hector (1783) and The Oath of the Horatii (1785), and he was clearly brimming over with new ideas and insights into the treatment of the subject, ideas which he put down here with great speed and urgency. Taking his 1782 composition as a sta
