An Ascension and Other Studies

Giulio Campi

National Gallery of Art

This is a collection of sketches on aged paper showcasing various human forms and mythical creatures. The central oval composition features swirling clouds and figures, surrounded by smaller sketches of cherubic or angelic figures with wings. On the left, a figure stands between columns. The pencil and pen marks create depth and movement in intricate studies reminiscent of Renaissance art. The overall composition reflects fluid lines and a sense of motion typical of preparatory sketches.
