The royal collection holds an astonishing array of Renaissance drawings. These big, bold and colourful studies show just how exciting the art of drawing became during this time... These drawings cannot be on permanent display for conservation reasons, so the exhibition is a unique opportunity to see such a wide range of drawings up close and gain an insight into the minds of these great Italian Renaissance artists.
Many were created by the artists as preparations for projects including paintings, prints and sculptures, with one highlight a red chalk working by Raphael of The Three Graces, circa 1517-18... Other notable works include a chalk study of an ostrich, circa 1550, attributed to Titian, and Michelangelo's The Virgin and Child With the Young Baptist, circa 1532.
