Virgin and Child with John the Baptist and Angels, by Pietro del Donzello, c. 1500
The Passion: The Agony in the Garden, by Martin Schongauer, c. 1480
A work made of pen and brown ink on dark cream laid paper, laid down on laid paper, with pen and ink and gold ruled lines.
Portrait of a Young Man, by Dosso Dossi, c. 1530
This is a drawing of two armored knights on horseback during a joust. It depicts two horses with riders clad in full armor, including helmets with decorative details. Each knight holds a lance, poised as if they are about to engage in a jousting match. The horses are also adorned in armor, with a colorful caparison draped over them. On the ground, there are lances and a halberd seen in the foreground. There are also disembodied arms and hands illustrated in the composition, adding an abstract element. The style is illustrative, capturing the medieval theme of chivalric tournaments.
A work made of tempera on panel.
Virgin and Child with Saints, c. 1510
