Three Male Heads 1493-1560 Baccio Bandinelli Italian The subject of this powerful drawing with the head of a man seen in three stagesyouth, maturity, and old ageis elusive. Various interpretations have been suggested, from the Ages of Man to an allegory of past, present, and future. The central figure may have been intended as an idealized self-portrait of the artist, the Florentine sculptor and draftsman Baccio Bandinelli. The portrayal of the three heads on the same scale from three different points of view-to the left, frontally, and in profile to the rightbetrays Bandinelli's interest in the description of forms in the round, an approach suited to his main occupation, sculpture. The juxtaposition of overlapping heads, turned at various angles, seems to have been a recurring theme in Bandinelli's drawn oeuvre (see: Yale University Art Gallery inv. 1975.101.10; Nationalmuseum, Stockholm inv. 128; National Museum, Cracow inv. XV-1959 and Art Institute of Chicago inv. 1996.606).. Th

Madonna and Child, a Warrior Saint (Michael ), and a Group of Worshippers Made 1565-1570 Italy. This large-scale cartoon, a full-size preparatory model for an unidentified altarpiece, is made up of six sheets of paper pasted together. The group of young women on the right indicates that the final painting was probably intended for a female religious community. One figure was later transformed into a male through the addition of a beard.Trained in northern Italy, Bernardino Lanino was exposed to the work of Leonardo and absorbed his signature effects of chiaroscuro, strong contrasts of light and dark, and sfumato, softened outlines and hazy forms.. Brush with brown and black ink and brown wash, black chalk, heightened with white, on multiple sheets of pieced, blue laid paper (now discolored). . Bernardino Lanino
