EDITORS COMMENTS
Paulinus, Cardinal and Patriarch of Aquileia, Transfers His Seat to Grado, c. 1796" is a captivating pen and black, gray, and brown ink drawing with gray wash on laid paper, created by the renowned Italian artist Pietro Antonio Novelli during the Baroque era of the 18th century. This evocative artwork depicts Saint Paulinus II of Aquileia, a significant figure in Christian history, as he transfers his seat to Grado, a city located in the northeastern part of the Italian Adriatic Sea. The drawing showcases the saint in regal attire, seated on a throne, with a solemn expression on his face as he gazes towards the horizon. Surrounded by a group of men, possibly his entourage, the saint appears to be in deep thought, perhaps contemplating the significance of his new location. The drawing captures the essence of the Baroque period with its dramatic use of contrasting light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The scene is set against a backdrop of a tranquil body of water, with Grado visible in the distance. The use of black and white tones adds to the drawing's timeless quality, transporting the viewer back to the 18th century and the rich cultural heritage of Italy. This drawing is a testament to Novelli's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a historical moment with precision and emotion. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring influence of Italian art and culture. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this drawing as part of its extensive collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and significance of this masterpiece up close.
