Luca Cambiaso (1527-1585) Bottega - Minerva

The drawing reproduces, at a reduced size compared with the original (22 x 14 cm versus 32 x 17 cm of the original), a famous drawing by Luca Cambiaso (see the last photo) now kept in the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe of Palazzo Rosso in Genoa. 

It is probably one of the drawings that the apprentices of his workshop (which included names such as Bernardo Castello and Lazzaro Tavarone) produced as a teaching exercise, by copying the master's originals.

The drawing is on laid paper with a watermark I could not decipher. In good condition, slightly dirty but without damp stains, with two of the margins slightly irregular because it was cut from a larger sheet (a common occurrence in an era when paper was expensive).

N.B. Not shipping to non-EU countries.

Luca Cambiaso (1527-1585) Bottega - Minerva

Il disegno riproduce, in dimensioni ridotte rispetto all'originale (cm. 22x14 contro i cm. 32x17 dell'originale) un famoso disegno di Luca Cambiaso (vedi ultima foto) ora conservato presso il Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe di Palazzo Rosso a Genova.
Si tratta probabilmente di uno dei disegni che gli allievi della sua bottega (che annoverava nomi quali Bernardo Castello e Lazzaro Tavarone) realizzavano, come esercizio didattico, copiando gli originali del Maestro.

Il disegno è su carta vergellata con una filigrana che non sono riuscito a decifrare. In buone condizioni, leggermente sporco ma senza macchie di umidità, con due dei margini leggermente irregolari perchè ottenuto da uno strappo di un foglio più grande (cosa comune in un'epoca in cui la carta era costosa). 

N.B. Non si effettua spedizione per Paesi extra-UE.
