Two Male Nudes Gesturing in a Landscape is a 1537 ink by Domenico Beccafumi, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two nude men standing in a landscape. One man is standing upright, while the other is lying on the ground. The standing man is gesturing with his arms, and the lying man is looking up at him. The background of the image is a simple landscape with some trees and hills. The overall mood of the image is one of calmness and serenity. The artist's use of cross-hatching techniques adds depth and texture to the image. The National Gallery of Art, Washington is a great place to explore more works of art.
Domenico di Pace Beccafumi (1486 – May 18, 1551) was an Italian Renaissance-Mannerist painter active predominantly in Siena. He is considered one of the last undiluted representatives of the Sienese school of painting.
