ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Triumph of Galatea is a 1535 ink by Girolamo da Treviso the Younger, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a woman riding a giant seashell pulled by two sea creatures, surrounded by wind-blown waves. Above her, cherubs float in the sky, some holding a banner, while others play musical instruments. The figures have soft, rounded shapes and delicate lines, with light shading to show movement in the water and fabric. The scene looks like a mythical story, with the woman as the main focus. The artist used careful pen strokes and ink washes to create depth, blending light and shadow smoothly. Look up Renaissance next to see how this style shaped art.
Girolamo da Treviso (Treviso, 1498 – Boulogne-sur-Mer, September 10, 1544), also known as Girolamo di Tommaso da Treviso the Younger and Girolamo Trevigi, was an Italian Renaissance sculptor and painter in Henry VIII's court in England.
