EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century drawing by Bernardino Campi, titled "God the Father," dates back to around 1567-70. The Italian artist, born in Cremona, showcases his masterful use of black chalk heightened with white gouache on gray brown laid paper, which has been later laid down on cream laid paper. The image depicts God the Father, a central figure in Christianity, seated on a cloud, with his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand holding a scepter. The intricately detailed figure is surrounded by an empty space, emphasizing the divine presence and transcendence. Bernardino Campi's "God the Father" is a rare surviving study, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The drawing is part of the rich artistic heritage of Italy during the Renaissance period and is an essential addition to any art centre, art gallery, or institute's collection. The black and white composition, with its bold contrasts and delicate shading, invites viewers to contemplate the divine and the human condition. This drawing is a testament to the enduring influence of religious art and the role it plays in shaping our cultural and historical understanding. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to exhibit this precious work, allowing visitors to engage with the art and the stories it tells. The intricacies of the drawing, from the delicate folds of God's robe to the subtle expressions on his face, reveal the artist's dedication and skill. This drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religious art, or the works of Bernardino Campi.
