This drawing by Italian Renaissance artist Ugo da Carpi depicts the Greek myth of Marsyas and Apollo. The two ovals contain two separate scenes, one depicting Marsyas discovering Minerva's panpipes and the other portraying the musical competition between Marsyas and Apollo, which resulted in Marsyas being flayed alive for his hubris. This drawing, created between 1502 and 1532, is a fine example of da Carpi's mastery of line and composition, showcasing his talent in creating intricate and dramatic scenes.
