The Visitation is a 1520 chalk by Florentine 16th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Visitation, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two women hugging in a simple room. The older woman in dark clothes stands out against the lighter woman. White chalk brightens their faces and hands, making them glow. The artist used chalk on purple paper. The color makes the white highlights pop. The lines are soft but clear. It feels like a quiet, private moment. This is a Florentine drawing from the 1500s. Look for more like it at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This Florentine sculptor in the mid-1500s cast bronze figures that feel alive in every gesture.
