Two Monks Looking up at a Dragon in a Tower. Artist: Anonymous, Italian, Tuscan, early 15th century. Dimensions: 7 3/8 x 5 1/2in. (18.7 x 13.9cm). Date: 1500-1550.This scene, loosely sketched in its most essential elements, may allude to Petrus de Cruce's real or imaginary journey to two popular holy sites located on the pilgrimage route between Damascus and Beirut: the holy mountain where Noah built his ark and the place outside Beirut where Saint George supposedly slayed the dragon that was devouring the local youth. On a rocky outcrop at the upper left is a wooden structure with one window, meant to represent Noah's ark. In the foreground, Petrus de Cruce (Pierre de la Croix, fl. Late 13th century) is shown standing at the foot of a tower next to an unidentified lay figure holding a pilgrim's staff and pointing toward a dragon. The image might refer to the tower where, according to popular belief, the dragon's victims awaited their fate.This illustration is one of two from the sam

Three Standing Figures (recto); Seated Woman and a Male Hermit in Half-length (verso) 1435-38 Stefano da Verona (Stefano di Giovanni d'Arbosio di Francia) Italian The three standing figures on the recto of this sheet probably served as studies for an 'Annunciation,' according to a style of iconography that was characteristic in the stone sculptures of portals in French Gothic Cathedrals. The most famous example are the pairs of freestanding sculptures of the 'Annunciation and Visitation' of ca. 1245-55 at Reims Cathedral (right jamb of the central portal in the west façade). In fact, the volumetric modeling of the forms and the relative isolation of each standing figure on the sheet seems to confirm they were studied from sculptures in the round. At center and left is the same figure of a youth but portrayed from two different points of view, front and back, and these studies were probably intended for the annunciating Angel Gabriel, although he is not winged and the position of the ar

Youth Kneeling before a Prelate (recto); Another Study of a Youth Kneeling before a Prelate (verso). Artist: Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) (Italian, Cento 1591-1666 Bologna). Dimensions: sheet: 9 3/8 x 7 9/16 in. (23.8 x 19.2 cm). Date: ca. 1620.This double-sided sheet features two closely similar sketches for the principal figures in Guercino's altarpiece representing Saint William, Duke of Aquitaine, receiving the monastic habit, painted in 1620 for the Church of San Gregorio in Bologna (now Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna). Both studies show one composition but reversed in design orientation with respect to the final altarpiece. Guercino's preparation for this celebrated early work is recorded in a number of composition sketches. In the painting, Saint William, kneeling before Saint Benedict of Ariane who is seated at the left, pulls a monastic cowl over his head; a drawing at Windsor (RL 12474) gives this solution. In the three drawings at the Louvre (inv. nos. 6884, 6885,
