EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the intricate study of an upraised right hand, with the palm facing outward. Created by the renowned artist Raphael in the 16th century, this piece serves as a study for Saint Peter. The detailed anatomical depiction showcases Raphael's mastery in capturing the human form with precision and accuracy.
The use of black chalk heightened with white chalk and lead white on cream laid paper adds depth and dimension to the artwork. The partially oxidized stylus underdrawing further highlights Raphael's meticulous attention to detail in his work.
Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this historic drawing is a testament to Raphael's contribution to Italian art during the Renaissance period. His ability to blend science and art is evident in this piece, as he carefully examines the anatomy of the hand while maintaining a sense of artistic expression.
As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness Raphael's genius at work. The raised hand symbolizes power, authority, and strength - qualities often associated with Saint Peter in religious iconography.
Overall, this print is not just a visual masterpiece but also a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on Raphael's artistic process and his enduring legacy in the world of art.
