Transfer: Drawings as carriers of motifs and ideas in the 16th and 17th centuries
23 November 2018 - 4 March 2019
The majority of Old Master drawings are stages in artistic processes, which usually lead to an artwork in a more durable medium. In some rare cases the drawings show marks and traces of these processes. All the drawings on display have such marks and the exhibition explores their meaning, while connecting the artistic creativity with the physicality of the making procedures. Included in the show are such famous works as Perugino's Head for Joseph of Arimathaea, Domenichino's monumental putto and Vasari's Procession of Pope Leo X, but deliberately also lesser known works, like Simon Vouet's off-sets of a Madonna and an adoring angel and Elisabetta Sirani's Saint Preaching from a Window.
