Italian 15th Century

4 works

This is a print showing a man and a woman intertwined on the left edge of a long table. The people are partially clothed and pressed tightly against each other, the man holding the woman's bottom, and the woman's legs raised up under the man's arms. The woman has long, flowing hair and what looks like a tiara on her head, and the man's curling hair is tied with a strip of fabric around his head. A curling banner emerges from the edge of the table next to them and curves up the left side of the print. On the right, a creature is stepping up onto the table, using a stool. The creature appears to have the legs and tail of a lion and the body and wings of a bird, but its head and upper torso resemble a large penis. A bell appears to hang from the creature. The material that the print is on is a mottled copper color, with areas of yellow, orange, and dark blue discoloration.

Allegory on Copulation [verso]

Italian 15th Century

The sculpture is an oval-shaped relief depicting a central figure emerging from a rectangular structure resembling a carved box or tomb. The central figure is draped in a garment, standing with an arm raised, and holding a staff with a flag. Two smaller figures, possibly angels or followers with halos, are on each side. The entire composition is within a raised border. The sculpture appears to be metal, likely bronze, with a dark brown color and subtle lighter highlights indicating wear or patina. The sculpture has detailed engravings on its surface for texture.

The Resurrection with Two Saints

Italian 15th Century

It is a drawing showing three individuals engaged in various activities. The left figure is focused on an object in hand with stick-like objects protruding from a round shape at their feet. A smaller form, possibly a child, is leaning against them. In the center, another figure is holding a vertical, spindle-like object and seems to be spinning or weaving. Their feet are partially visible, showing strands of material extending towards a basket filled with tools or materials. To the right, a third figure sits on a barrel holding a musical instrument resembling a bagpipe. The scene is set against a plain background with a stylized, linear engraving technique.
