Alessandro Tiarini Classical Head 17th century Morgan Library |
Drawings by 17th century Italian masters whose names have (more often than not) fallen into unmerited obscurity. This group is chosen from collections at the Morgan Library in New York. The Morgan Library is a venerable institution with high curatorial standards, but the descriptions provided to the public are laragely non-committal about dates of creation.
