From earliest days; artists have sought to record the beauty; form; movement; and infinite variety of the human body. Among the most successful were the great masters of the various European traditions and schools of art. The extraordinary skill; inspiration; and technique they brought to figure drawing resulted in many masterpieces.This anthology; carefully reproduced from rare portfolios; presents over forty of those works; by artists ranging from the 15th century Italian Filippino Lippi to the 19th century French classicist; J. A. D. Ingres. Included are such highlights as a Michelangelo study for a dead Christ; two drawings of seated women by Rembrandt; a study by Rubens for Daniel in the Lions Den; and splendid nudes by Tintoretto; Titian; Andrea del Sarto; Raphael; Pontormo; and other celebrated artists.
