This drawing, "Ein Bischof predigt den Türken" (A Bishop Preaches to the Turks), by Italian Mannerist artist Giuseppe Porta (known as Salviati) depicts a scene of a bishop preaching to a group of Turks. The drawing is a study for a larger composition, showcasing Salviati's interest in capturing dynamic movement and dramatic expressions. The bishop, positioned in a raised platform, is depicted in a gestural pose, addressing his audience with intensity. The Turks, shown in various poses, engage with the message with a range of reactions, reflecting the artist's keen observation of human emotions. This artwork exemplifies Salviati's skill in depicting complex scenes, highlighting the interaction between religious authority and a diverse audience.
