Over the past 30 years, long-time Chicagoans and Art Institute supporters Jean and Steven Goldman have created an extraordinarily focused and impressive collection of Italian drawings from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Admired by scholars and collectors from around the world, this distinctive assembly of intimate studies, totaling over 130 works, reveals varied approaches to drawing during the 16th and 17th centuries. Working drawings, preparatory sketches, and finished compositions reflect not only the stylistic evolution of the art form but also different regional and technical approaches to the medium.
