EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait drawing by the renowned Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, created around 1615, captures the essence of youthful masculinity with remarkable detail and depth. The young man is depicted in three-quarter view, his head turned slightly to the side, gazing intently at an unseen point beyond the picture plane. The artist's masterful use of black and red chalk, heightened with white chalk, brings the figure to life, capturing the subtle textures of the sitter's clothing and the delicate contours of his face. Bernini, a leading figure of the Baroque period in Italy, was known for his innovative approach to sculpture and drawing. This portrait, with its dynamic use of chiaroscuro and expressive energy, showcases his exceptional skill as a draftsman. The young man's intense gaze and strong jawline convey a sense of confidence and determination, making this drawing a captivating and evocative work of art. This portrait, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of Bernini's work. The drawing invites us to contemplate the complexities of human emotion and the power of artistic expression, transporting us to a bygone era and offering a glimpse into the world of the Cavaliere Bernini.
