EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite talent of Sebastiano del Piombo, also known as S. Luciani, a renowned Italian artist from the Renaissance period. Titled "A reclining apostle" this piece is a study in tranquility and relaxation. In this drawing, we see a male figure lounging gracefully on his side, offering us an intriguing back view. The artist's masterful use of black chalk with brown wash on carta azzurra creates a stunning monochrome effect that adds depth and dimension to the composition. The apostle's pose exudes an air of serenity and contemplation, inviting viewers to delve into their own thoughts as they observe this striking image. With every stroke of his pencil, Piombo captures the essence of human anatomy, showcasing his exceptional skill in rendering form and texture. The play between light and shadow further enhances the overall impact of the artwork. Through chiaroscuro techniques, Piombo expertly manipulates light sources to create dramatic contrasts that bring life to every crease and contour. As we admire this remarkable sketch from The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, it becomes evident why Piombo was highly regarded during his time. This print serves as both an homage to his artistic prowess and an invitation for us all to take a moment for introspection while appreciating the beauty found within art itself.
