EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite antique print, created by the renowned Italian artist Giorgio Vasari in the late 16th century, showcases two distinct yet interconnected works on one sheet of ivory laid paper. On the recto side, we find a dynamic and intricately detailed depiction of a Cavalry Skirmish. The scene is filled with the intensity and chaos of war, as cavalrymen on horseback clash with their opponents, their horses rearing and charging. The skillful use of brown ink, pen and brush, and brown wash over black chalk creates a sense of depth and movement, transporting us to the heart of the battlefield. On the verso side, a striking architectural sketch comes to life. The artist's deft hand captures the elegant lines and intricate details of a building, demonstrating his mastery of the art of drafting. The use of pen and ink on ivory laid paper adds a sense of precision and sophistication to the drawing. This remarkable print, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy during the Renaissance, is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing both the concept of warfare and the beauty of architectural design in one captivating work.
