On View
Not on viewThis is another spectacular and well known example of draftsmanship from Cambiaso’s early maturity. Probably the result of Bergamasco’s influence, he has devised a very personal interpretation of the subject, complicated the spatial arrangement, and thorough interwoven the figures to create a single, seamless fabric. At the same time, his line has become more predictable in its ellipses and regular in its distribution without sacrificing any of its energy.
