Two Horsemen and Two Male Nudes 

This drawing, "Two Horsemen and Two Male Nudes", by Vincenzo Tamagni, is a study of human anatomy and movement. The artist, born in 1492, used brown ink to sketch two nude figures standing in profile, their bodies contorted in a dynamic pose. At the top of the sheet are studies of two horsemen, their figures similarly rendered with careful attention to detail. Such studies were common in the Renaissance, allowing artists to capture the intricacies of human form and translate them to larger, more finished works.
