Draughtsman's Eye: Late Italian Renaissance Schools and Styles

"Drawing is the basic form of expression in the visual arts and the foundation of an artist's training. This study considers the function of draftsmanship in the studios of the great Italian Renaissance masters, based on examples of approximately 120 drawings from the Cleveland Museum of Art and other collections, with many works examined and published for the first time."
