Study for the Head of St. Michael, 1633. Creator: Pietro da Cortona (Italian, 1596-1669) .

Study for the Head of St. Michael, 1633. Pietro da Cortona drew this angelically beautiful face in a style reminiscent of the work of Renaissance master Raphael (1483-1520). Cortona's use of black chalk to develop extremely subtle effects of shading shows the technique at its most refined. He drew this sheet in preparation for a ceiling decoration,  Saint Michael and Angels with the Instruments of the Passion , painted in fresco in the church of Santa Maria in Vallicella (better known as the Chiesa Nuova, or "New Church") in Rome, completed in 1633.
