Fra Angelica to Leonardo Italian Renaissance Drawings at the British Museum
An impressive selection which includes some real gems including Antonio Pisanello’s ‘Three Men’ of c. 1433, a work intended as a presentation drawing and his drawings of ‘Hanged Men’ of 1434-8 which show corpses in varying states of decay; Andrea Mantegna’s ‘Man on a Stone Slab’ of c. 1475-85; the ‘Head of a woman’ by Andrea del Verrocchio (who was Leonardo’s teacher); and some fantastic Leonardo drawings. The exhibition finishes with Titian’s ‘Young Woman’ drawing of 1510-5.
