FRA BARTOLOMEO (BARTOLOMEO DI PAOLO DEL FATTORINO). Landscape (Wooded Approach to a Town)

Landscape (Wooded Approach to a Town). Artist: Fra Bartolomeo (Bartolomeo di Paolo del Fattorino) (Italian, Florence 1473-1517 Florence). Dimensions: 8 7/16 x 11 1/2 in. (21.4 x 29.2 cm). Date: ca. 1508.
Dated about 1508, this drawing can be considered among the earliest pure landscape studies in European art. Confining himself to the use of pen and ink, Fra Bartolomeo employed a great variety of strokes, from dots to dashes to hatches, in order to convey the textures and details of the Tuscan landscape. Fra Bartolomeo also used the void of the paper to great effect in expressing the expansiveness of his subject. Like other similar landscape studies by him, this sheet appears to have been drawn directly from nature. A few such drawings were used in the backgrounds of paintings. This drawing is one of a group kept until recently in an album compiled about 1730 by the Florentine art historian Niccolò Gabburri (1675-1742) which included landscape studies now in the Museum's collection (nos. 1975.1.270 and 57.65).
