EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Scene with Soldiers" by Ludovico Cardi, also known as Il Cigoli, dates back to the late 16th century. The Italian artist masterfully depicts a lively scene of soldiers and their horses in the midst of a tranquil countryside. The drawing is executed in black chalk, with intricate details brought to life through the addition of brown ink. The contrast between the grey tones of the chalk and ink and the vibrant blue background adds a sense of depth and dimension to the composition. The soldiers, dressed in armor and wielding weapons, are shown in various poses, some mounted on their horses, others dismounted, engaged in conversation or tending to their animals. The horses, with their expressive eyes and lifelike forms, are a testament to Cardi's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of animal movement and anatomy. The print, which is a pen and ink drawing on ivory laid paper laid down on blue laid paper, is a rare and valuable example of the artist's work. It is currently on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a beloved addition to the institution's extensive collection of historic art. The "Scene with Soldiers" offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the culture and heritage of the Italian Renaissance period.
