About the Item

Drawing Graphite, pen and brown and black ink, gray and sepia watercolor, white lead elevations on ivory virgin paper. (440 x 610 mm) Title: Achilles' sorrow over the death of Patroclus Titled, dated and located at lower right "Achilles' grief over the death of Patroclus 1818 Siena" This extremely high-quality drawing by the Milanese neoclassical artist Luigi Ademollo (1764 - 1849), depicts the episode of grief and anger felt by Achilles bewildered by the death of his fellow patroclus life and battle. It is one of the greatest climaxes of the Homeric Iliad whose narration Luigi Ademollo became a master and highly original interpreter in the neoclassical cultural climate european. The drawing is in excellent condition, intact and free of defects and aporias that allow fully to appreciate its great quality. Aspect that allows you to fully enjoy a specimen refined among the artist's not many surviving drawings and most likely executed as a project and proposal for level-headed patronage. Excerpted from the expertise of Egle Radogna. The frame featured in the video is a simple wooden display frame and is not included in the price.
