Parri Spinelli

Once attributed to the Italian painter Giotto (about 1267-1337), this drawing is the oldest sheet in the Cleveland museum's collection. We now know it to be a copy by Parri Spinelli after a mosaic Giotto designed for the portico of the church of Old St. Peter's in Rome.

Michelangelo: Mind of the Master

A horizontally oriented ink drawing in fine, hatched lines depicts over a dozen people with light skin tones and circular halos crowded into a wooden boat. At our bottom right, a man in robes stands on the water and reaches for a man stepping from the vessel. In the upper left, three winged child figures blow air through long tubes toward a billowing sail. Shading is rendered through loose, overlapping strokes across textured, aged paper.
