Containing individual masterpieces by Botticelli, da Vinci,
Michelangelo and Titian, the extensive collection of Italian
drawings at the Fitzwilliam Museum ranges from the work of
Pisanello in the early fifteenth century to Sandro Chia in the
twentieth. This catalogue provides access to the eclectic
collection in its entirety, featuring over 800 entries and 1400
colour illustrations. Spanish masterpieces by Ribera and Goya are
also included. The collection was largely acquired in the twentieth
century, mainly by the gift and benefaction of private individuals,
and the introduction details the historical development of the
collection. Special features include a sketch-book drawn in and
around Paris in 1640 by Stefano della Bella and eighteenth-century
Venetian drawings by the Tiepolo family. Later sketch-books of
Italian costumes and an album of views in and around Naples at the
time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1822 bear witness to the
development of tourism in Italy.
