'A Nude Man', Italian, 1480s. This sketch is in silverpoint, heightened with white on mauve-grey, prepared paper. Filippino Lippi has used this traditional technique in a dramatic and novel way to depict a figure in violent motion. The study of the heroic male nude was the focus of much artistic interest in late fifteenth-century Florence. Drawings such as this permitted Renaissance artists to understand how the human body worked, which led to a greater naturalism and fluency in their paintings. PD, 1860-6-16-64
