Allegorical Subject (Angel above Two Sibyls) 1560 - 1565

This drawing by Luca Cambiaso, known as "Allegorical Subject (Angel above Two Sibyls)," is a study for a larger fresco or painting. It depicts two figures seated on clouds, one drawing a design onto a tablet, while the other contemplates the image. An angel with wings hovers above them, possibly symbolizing divine inspiration. Cambiaso was known for his dynamic compositions and lively figures, which are evident in this work. This drawing demonstrates his mastery of form and anatomy, offering a glimpse into the artistic process of one of the most celebrated artists of the Italian Renaissance.
