Perino Martyrdom study   

Martyrdom of Ten Thousand (1522-1523)

by:   Perino      category: Drawing   

note:  Perino began this work for a commission from the Compagnia de' Martiri in Camaldoli, however, it never evolved beyond the drawing stage. Davidson (1963) links this compositional design to Raphael and plans for Battle at Ostia (p. 20); drawing held by Albertina.
