Northern Italian 16th Century
1575–1585
Northern Italian 16th Century was a Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist drew religious scenes in the late 1500s, blending chalk and ink to tell stories on paper. In “Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist,” a woman holds a severed head while a guard stands behind her, every line sharp enough to feel the moment. Their brief recorded decade leaves few traces, but the surviving sheets show how they mixed drawing and light before photography existed. Tap “Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist” to zoom into every deliberate stroke.
