Four standing saints c. 1430

This drawing, "Four Standing Saints", is a preparatory study by the Italian Renaissance artist Pisanello, created around 1430. This piece showcases his mastery of line and detail, capturing the flowing drapery of the figures with precision. The drawing is likely a study for a larger work, and it exemplifies the artist's careful observation of the human form and the world around him, characteristic of the Early Renaissance period. This drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, a testament to the lasting legacy of Pisanello, a key figure in the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance styles.
