Two friezes, one above the other, with scenes from the early history of Rome 1551 - 1629

Avanzino Nucci's "Two friezes, one above the other, with scenes from the early history of Rome" (1551-1629) is a detailed red chalk drawing depicting scenes from the early history of Rome. The two friezes showcase different events, with each individual scene labeled with the names of the Roman historical figures involved. Nucci's work offers a glimpse into the artistic and historical interests of the Renaissance period, blending the historical and the fantastical. The drawing is a testament to the artistic skill of the Florentine artist, as it demonstrates the fluidity and expressiveness of red chalk.
