1525
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1525 by Domenico del Barbiere, a Renaissance work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a chaotic group of muscular, twisting figures tangled together. Some are standing, some are falling, and a few look like they’re fighting or struggling. The scene is all in black and white, with rough, sketchy lines that make the bodies look strong but also a little messy. One figure at the top holds a cross-like object, while others seem to be reaching or pulling at each other. The figures’ faces are tense, and their bodies are all tangled up like a knot. The background looks like a stormy sky with waves, adding to the sense of movement and drama. If you like this kind of dramatic, crowded scene, look up Renaissance.
The upper section of the composition depicts the 'Last Judgment,' featuring five angels holding a column, and is based on a work by Michelangelo. The piece is rendered as a print on paper and includes the inscription "Domenico Fiorentino" on the right side.
