Palazzo Alberini is a 1550 ink by Italian 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a detailed drawing of a large Italian palace. It shows the front half of the building with columns, windows, and stone carvings. This is a print made from a carved metal plate. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow on the stone. Though we don’t know the artist’s name, the work helps us picture a building that may have changed over time. Look up the technique: engraving, cross-hatching. (Word count: 87)
A 16th-century Italian sculptor left us small bronze works in dark brown and gold.
