1496

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Standing Nude Youth is a 1496 by Filippino Lippi, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a young man standing sideways. His body is simple but strong, with soft shading. The background is just a light gray shape, like a wall. The lines are faint, almost ghostly, with a few white highlights on his skin. The artist used a metalpoint tool—like a stylus—to draw. It’s a quiet, sketch-like style, not a big finished painting. This piece is small and looks like a study, not a grand work. Next, check out Lippi, Filippino to see how he worked with figures and light.
Filippino Lippi (probably 1457 – 18 April 1504) was an Italian Renaissance painter mostly working in Florence, Italy during the later years of the Early Renaissance and first few years of the High Renaissance.
