1908 was the date on this one, but that seems odd given its academic nature and the fact \that the creator, Andrea Landini, would have been 61 years old at the time. I guess some people do
go back to school relatively late life, and Landini did live another 27 years past 1908.
Hard to believe this is a photograph.
ReplyDeleteDid you mean, "isn't a photograph?"
DeleteOops. Yes. Should have deleted but did not proofread.
DeleteDespite being a drawing, the direction of light and shadow, is rather well done. Our model's mature, but still strikingly muscular physique is recorded in excellent detail.
ReplyDeleteAgree on all points, and this despite the apparent damage to the work.
