The Sermons and Deeds of the Antichrist

Federico Zuccaro, Luca Signorelli

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures surrounding a central figure on a pedestal. The scene depicts individuals engaged in conversation or listening to the central figure, who appears to be addressing the crowd. The use of red chalk highlights certain figures and elements within the drawing. Faint architectural elements can be seen in the background, hinting at a public or open space setting, such as a town square. The drawing's lines and shading convey movement and interaction among the figures.
