Description: | This preparatory sketch is related to Gandolfi's Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery in the collection at Temple Newsam House, Leeds. The figures are presented in a close group in the foreground. Christ is shown at the centre of the composition, placed directly in front of a classical column. This column, while conveying the historic period, acts as a compositional aid to direct the viewer's eye towards the figures of Christ and the woman. The artist has used colour and light to distinguish the figures. | Subjects: | religion (Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gandolfi, Gaetano (Italian painter, draftsman, and etcher, 1734-1802) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8913... | Go to resource |
