Bronzino , Tiepolo drawings Drawing

Agnolo Bronzino, was an Italian Mannerist painter from Florence.He trained with Pontormo, the leading Florentine painter of the first generation of Mannerism. Many of Bronzino's works are still in Florence but other examples can be found in the National Gallery, London, and elsewhere. Here we present a scene from his painting Flaying of Marsyas. We restore the incomplete legs, with human legs and not as the limbs of a goat(which was Bronzino's intention . Flaying of Marsyas is a 1531 painting by Bronzino. The painting is held in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It depicts the flaying (skinning alive) of Marsyas by Apollo after the satyr rashly challenged the Greek god to a musical contest. Also we studied Bronzino drawing Marsyas and Midas, two of the main figures seated at the right in Bronzino's The Contest of Apollo and Marsyas, a subject inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. This drawing shows Apollo's rival, Pan, whose identity is indicated not only by the panpipes but also by the incomplete legs, which would have been represented below the knees as the limbs of a goat.
