Italian Drawings before 1600 in the Art Institute of Chicago

By Suzanne Folds McCullagh and Laura M. Giles

This volume documents more than 700 drawings by or after many of the major artists of 15th- and 16th-century Italy, including Antonio Pisanello, Jacopo Pontormo, and Francesco Primaticcio as well as an important new discovery of a drawing by Raphael. Thorough discussions of each work dominate the text, supported by provenance, condition notes, complete bibliography, exhibition history, and the highest-quality reproductions, making the catalogue appealing and valuable to the nonspecialist and scholar alike. Because the exhaustive research for this project yielded substantial new information on the attribution, history, condition, and significance of these works, the catalogue makes a major contribution to the study and appreciation of Italian drawings of the 15th and 16th centuries.
