On View
Not on viewAgain in collaboration, Bergamasco and Cambiaso created a grand cycle of the Last Judgment in the apse of Santissima Annunziata di Portoria. This drawing is one of several preliminary ideas for the canvas of The Damned. It is an early in-stance of the singularly systematic and reductive style, often called “cubic”, that characterizes Cambiaso’s later compositional studies.
