1500
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1500 by Parmigianino, a Renaissance work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The image depicts a man standing in a rocky landscape, dressed in a fur-trimmed cloak and holding a sword in his right hand. He is barefoot and has long hair. The man is positioned in front of a large rock, with his left leg bent at the knee and his right leg straight. His left arm is raised, and his right arm is holding the sword. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The background of the image is a rocky landscape with trees and bushes. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of strength and power. This image is reminiscent of the Renaissance movement, which emphasized classical ideals and humanism.
A print on paper attributed to Parmigianino depicts Saint John the Baptist in the desert, with the first state of the engraving featuring an inscription dated before 1532 on a rock in the composition.
