Christ Preaching 1500 - 1600

"Christ Preaching", a drawing by Italian Mannerist artist Federico Zuccaro, depicts Christ seated on a throne, preaching to a group of people. The drawing, created between 1500-1600 and now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases Zuccaro's mastery of perspective and figure drawing. The scene is set in an architectural space, with the figures rendered in a dynamic and expressive style. The artist's use of light and shadow further enhances the dramatic impact of the composition. This drawing is a testament to Zuccaro's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the energy and emotion of a religious scene.
