Christ on the Cross 1590 - 1600

"Christ on the Cross" is a preparatory drawing created by Girolamo Muziano, an Italian Renaissance artist, sometime between 1590 and 1600. This delicate pencil sketch, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Muziano's meticulous attention to anatomy and his mastery of drawing. The depiction of Christ's figure, rendered in a naturalistic style, is a testament to the artist's deep understanding of human form. This preparatory drawing serves as a glimpse into Muziano's creative process and his dedication to achieving anatomical accuracy in his artistic endeavors.
