Featuring thirty-one drawings from the Metropolitan Museum’s Robert Lehman Collection, with an additional ten chosen from the Department of Drawings and Prints, this installation showcases a period in Italian art that witnessed the emergence of drawing as an essential tool for artists. These rare examples of North Italian drawings from the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries illustrate the versatility of the medium over more than a century.
