Cavaliere d’Arpino Head of Tullius Hostilius 1597 Museum Kunstpalast Dusseldorf |
Giuseppe Cesare (1568-1640) usually appears as the Cavaliere d'Arpino in art history books, a title of honor bestowed by his patron, the Aldobrandini pope Clement VIII. The surviving drawings of this expressive artist are perhaps stronger and more eloquent than the surviving paintings.
