The Garden of Penitence 1540 - 1609

Federico Zuccaro's "The Garden of Penitence" (1540 - 1609) depicts a scene of religious allegory. The drawing features a group of figures, some nude, in a landscape setting, with several of the characters appearing to be in a state of repentance, with the inscription "CONTIRITIONE" appearing at the bottom right corner. The scene is set in a garden, with trees, rocks, and a building in the background. The figures are drawn in a realistic style, with expressive poses and detailed anatomical features. This drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a fine example of the Italian Renaissance art style.
