Edited By Michael Sittenfeld
The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, published twice annually, presents articles on the collections and history of the Art Institute. This issue is devoted to Italian master drawings of the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. One article features a masterpiece of pastel drawing by Rosalba Carriera; another discusses a recently discovered Christ Child by Federico Barocci. Other essays examine the subject of a major composition study by Pontormo; the purpose of a large drawing of a sacrificial scene by Gian Francesco De’ Maineri; and the technique of an early monotype by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione depicting the creation of Adam.
