Youth with Right Arm Raised in a Shoulder-Length Portrayal (preparatory study for St. Sebastian)

Timoteo Viti Italian

Not on view

First attributed to Timoteo Viti by Philip Pouncey in 1966, this drawing constitutes a preparatory study for the figure of St. Sebastian, seen at right on the altapiece with The Annunciation with Saints John the Baptist and Sebastian painted by Timoteo Viti around 1513-1515 for the Bonaventura chapel in the church of San Bernardino in Urbino, and now in the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan (Reg. Cron. 507). A further large-scale model for the whole composition is in the Corsini collection at the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica, Rome.
