D.12 Nude with a Standard<\/p><\/div>\n

1524<\/p>\n

Florence, Uffizi, no. 6497F.<\/p>\n

Fig.D.12<\/a><\/p>\n

Red chalk, 41.5 x 20; the paper is stained in several places and there is a hole in the left ankle of the figure.\u00a0 Inscribed at the lower left: A<\/em>.\u00a0 On the verso<\/em> is an undecipherable scribble in red chalk.<\/p>\n

LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Ferri, 1890, 125, as Rosso.<\/p>\n

Berenson, 1903, no. 2427, as Rosso.<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 135, 141, no. 33, as Rosso, 1521-1523.<\/p>\n

Berenson, 1938, no. 2427, as Rosso.<\/p>\n

Barocchi, 1950, 204, Fig. 181, as Rosso, from the end of his Florentine period.<\/p>\n

Longhi, 1951, 59 (1976, 99), as not by Rosso.<\/p>\n

Marcucci, 1953, 87, n. 22, as by Clemente Bandinelli.<\/p>\n

Sinibaldi, 1960-1961, 35, no. 52, as Rosso, and as perhaps executed just before his departure for Rome.<\/p>\n

Berenson, 1961, no. 2427, as Rosso.<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1961, 449, n. 12, 450, as by Rosso and not by Clemente Bandinelli.<\/p>\n

Griseri, 1964, 11, as seeming to derive from Berruquete.<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1964 (1976), I, Bk. I, 117-122, 126, 127, Bk. II, 234-236, D. 15, III, Fig. 41, as Rosso, around 1525-1526.<\/p>\n

Annamaria Petrioli Tofani, Disegni\u00a0<\/em>Italiani della Galleria degli Uffizi<\/em>, exh. cat., Jerusalem, 1984, no. 17, as Rosso.<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1987, 74, n. 2, with Fig., under no. 8, as Rosso, c. 1524.<\/p>\n

This tall, slender, tightly muscular figure is very similar to the Pluto in a Niche<\/em> (Fig.D.17A<\/a>; Fig.E.32<\/a>) and the Vulcan in a Niche<\/em> (Fig.E.44<\/a>) designed by Rosso and engraved by Caraglio in 1526.\u00a0 The screaming head with flying hair is quite like that of one of the centaurs in Rosso\u2019s Hercules Fighting the Centaurs<\/em> of around 1524, also engraved by Caraglio (Fig.E.22<\/a>).\u00a0 Behind the figure the billowing drapery resembles that in the Neptune in a Niche<\/em> (Fig.E.30<\/a>).\u00a0 Graphically, the drawing is close to Rosso\u2019s study (Fig.D.7<\/a>) for the figure of St. Sebastian in the Dei Altarpiece.\u00a0 But the draughtsmanship of the Nude with a Standard<\/em> has a tightness and precision, and in the drapery a crispness, that brings to mind the Seated Woman in a Niche<\/em> (Fig.D.10<\/a>).\u00a0 Given these relationships it appears quite clear that the drawing is by Rosso, and that it was done in Rome.<\/p>\n

However, the tightness of the drawing still relates it to Rosso\u2019s late Florentine works rather than to such later and somewhat softer and more granular Roman drawings as the Bacchus in a Niche <\/em>(Fig.D.18a<\/a>) and the Pluto in a Niche <\/em>(Fig.D.17A<\/a>) of 1526.\u00a0 It is likely that the Nude with a Standard <\/em>was done in 1524, around the time of the Seated Woman in a Niche<\/em>.\u00a0 The image of the drawing and the emotion it conveys are most identifiable with Rosso\u2019s Fury<\/em> (Fig.E.18a<\/a>), designed by Rosso and engraved in Rome probably in 1524.\u00a0 Both are very possibly among Rosso\u2019s earliest Roman works.<\/p>\n

Longhi, Marcucci, and Griseri did not accept the traditional\u00a0attribution of this drawing to Rosso.\u00a0 Longhi did not suggest an alternative.\u00a0 Marcucci\u2019s attribution to Clemente Bandinelli is not supported by the drawings that are attributed to him in the Uffizi nor by his sculpture.1<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Neither Longhi\u2019s refutation, nor Marcucci\u2019s attribution, nor Griseri\u2019s suggestion of Berruquete can stand in the face of the visual evidence that so strongly supports the attribution to Rosso.<\/p>\n
