Gessate in the Province of Milan 1834 Attributed to Camille Corot French Camille Corot drew all his life and, to this day, thousands of sheets bear his attribution, not all of which are autograph. This confident pencil drawing was made during the artists second trip to Italy in the summer and autumn of 1834. He traveled with the French painter Jean-Charles-Denis Grandjean to Genoa, Florence, Venice, and Milan. As the inscription notes, the drawing transcribes the furnaces or factories of Gessate in the southern region of the province of Milan. The artist quite obviously drew this tourist destination from life. As Corots sketchbook from the 1834 trip to Italy includes drawings by other artists, this view may, in fact, belong to one of his contemporaries.. Gessate in the Province of Milan 459986

Panorama 1650-1651 Netherlands. Five drawings (1961.378-1961.382) were once bound in a small sketchbook of approximately 200 pages.

Sketchbooks allowed the artist to quickly delineate sand dunes and architectural structures in the vicinity of his residence in The Hague and farther afield. These landscape sketches in black chalk and ink wash relateódirectly and indirectlyóto compositions the artist later realized in oil paintings..

Italian Sketchbook Sanford Robinson Gifford (American, 1823-1880). Italian Sketchbook, 1867-1868. Graphite on tan, medium-weight, slightly textured wove paper, 5 x 9 x 7/16 in. (12.7 x 22.9 x 1.1 cm). This sketchbook served as a travel diary for the Hudson River School landscape painter Sanford Robinson Gifford during his journeys in France, Switzerland, and Italy. In this two-page spread depicting the church of Santa Caterina del Sasso, perched precariously on the edge of a cliff overlooking Lake Maggiore in Italy, Giffords precise and assured lines exemplify his skills as a draftsman. A practitioner of plein air sketching, the artist used these drawings as preparatory studies for paintings executed later in his studio. The small framed motifs that appear on this and other pages of the sketchbook show his initial experiments with composition. American Art 1867-1868

At Rome Richard Cooper II British, Scottish 1774-75 Born in Edinburgh, Cooper II trained as an engraver under his father, then studied in Paris with Jacques Philippe le Bas (1707-1783). He made these drawings during a visit to Italy in 1771-76 and, until recently, they were preserved in an album that descended in the family. Interestingly, each composition relates closely to a drawing in a sketchbook that Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797) used in Rome in 1774-75 (57.102.1(1-44)). These visual links suggest that the two artists sketched together and took it in turns to use an optical instrument. While the outlines of their related compositions are close was then developed in markedly different ways. This is drawing relates to Wright's sketchbook page 57.102.1(24). View more. At Rome.

The Goldweigher's Field, 1651, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Dutch, 1606-1669, 4 3/4 x 12 5/8 in. (12 x 32.1 cm) (plate), Etching and drypoint (counterproof), Netherlands, 17th century, This magnificent panorama was long thought to be the estate of Jan Uytenbogaert, a tax receiver and gold weigher in Holland, which is how the print acquired its name. When the landscape is viewed in reverse, however, as the counterproof enables us to do, it is clear that the etching shows the property of Christoffel Thijsz., to whom Rembrandt owed money for his house. The artist may have made this print, sketched from the dunes outside Haarlem, to help offset his debt. The rare counterproof, which would have been a useful working tool for Rembrandt because its orientation was the same as that of the copper plate, was made by running a freshly printed impression through the press a second time with another sheet of paper.
