O díle
The same male body appears from four directions in Bartolomeo Passarotti’s Nude Studies, drawn around 1570–1580 and now in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Curving contours and precise cross-hatching recall engraving, with heavier strokes stressing selected muscles and outlines. Passarotti twisted the poses and left out the right forearm to fit the views together on one sheet. Some feet are only briefly indicated, and the heads receive little attention. The drawing may have been an independent exercise or intended for a volume of anatomical studies.
Slovy muzea
Bartolomeo Passarotti studied the male nude on this sheet, ingeniously showing the same figure from four sides. Varying the quality of line to achieve his desired effect, he used undulating outlines and distinctive, sharply defined cross-hatching that resembles an engraver's technique. Thicker lines along the outlines and in the body's interior add emphasis in selective areas As with many Mannerists, Passarotti distorted musculature in order to explore his anatomical interest in powerful, acrobatic figures. He twisted the bodies and omitted the right forearm, adjusting the poses to fit all the views on one sheet and to create a pleasing composition. Characteristically, he sketched in some of the feet without much detail and gave only the most summary treatment to the heads. He may have made this drawing simply for study purposes or as part of a book of anatomical studies.
