'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

'Studies for Christ Rising from the Tomb and Hand Studies', c1497. The nude boy poses as the Risen Christ, his right hand raised in blessing, while his left hand holds the banner of the Resurrection. To either side of the figure are two separate studies of hands. Del Garbo used cross-hatching to suggest shading, particularly on the right side of the body and inside the drapery. The model's body, too, is a superb study of light and shade with touches of white to suggest the fall of light. PD, Pp.1-32

'Recumbent Female Nude Figure Asleep', 1530-1540. Clearly drawn from a model, a thin outline forms the delicate contour of her full-length body. Inside the line, the white of the paper shows the highlights while superb parallel hatching that has been gently smudged suggests the shadows. Fiorentino has focused on the figure's elongated upper torso and powerful thighs. He left her head, hands and feet indistinct, perhaps to make separate studies of these more complex details.This is one of the finest surviving examples of Rosso's red chalk drawings. PD, Pp. 5-132
