Some shopped dabblings from the sketchbook. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Knights are cool.
Vittore Carpaccio’s Portrait of a Knight (left) looks a bit wimpy in the real painting, so I decided to buff him up a little bit here. Botticelli’s Athena and Centaur (right) is a graphic painting, like most of his works, and makes for good source material if you want to draw from some renaissance material.

Getting back into the Rapidograph groove with some knights
. Pietro Perugino’s St. Michael (left) and another sampling from the same Boticelli, The Madonna Enthroned With Six Saints (right), sampled a couple posts ago.

Weirdies. Something about this old book Art Treasures of the Uffizi & Pitti Florence that draws me to draw from some classic paintings from the yesteryears. Must be the old plate printing. Appropriation of a figure in Domenico Veneziano’s The Madonna And Child With Saints (left) and some messed up kid bothering a lady from Fra Filippo Lippi’s The Madonna And Child With Scenes From The Life Of The Virgin (right)from 1452-ish. Madonna hung out with some definite weirdies.

Getting back on the train. Some appropriated Renaissance studies from Sodoma’s St. Sebastian (left) and a selection from Boticelli’s Madonna Enthroned With Six Saints (right).
