Christ Healing a Possessed Man 1675 - 1749

Aureliano Milani's "Christ Healing a Possessed Man" is a pen and wash drawing depicting a scene from the New Testament. The drawing shows a group of men restraining a possessed man as Christ, with a group of followers, gestures towards him. The scene takes place in an urban setting with a bridge and buildings in the background. The work, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Milani's refined draftsmanship and interest in biblical narratives, common in Italian Baroque art.
