Studie efter Rafael: "Disputa" (venstre billedhalvdel) 1671 - 1738

Hendrik Krock's "Studie efter Rafael: "Disputa" (venstre billedhalvdel)" is a red chalk drawing from 1671-1738, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This study is a rendition of the left half of Raphael's iconic fresco "The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament," which depicts a debate between theologians and philosophers about the nature of the Eucharist. Krock, a Danish artist, captures the energy and complexity of the original composition through delicate lines and subtle shading, highlighting the figures' poses and expressions, while offering a glimpse into the creative process of a great master.
