Alexander the Great before the High Priest
by PINO, Marco, Pen and brown wash, 261 x 419 mm
This is a preliminary sketch for the scene which Marco Pino painted in the Sala Paolina, Castel Sant’Angelo, Rome, where Pino worked together with Perino del Vaga and Pellegrino Tibaldi. Perino appears to have reviewed Pino’s designs and to have gone back and corrected compositional weaknesses, which may be deduced by comparing the only preserved sketch by Pino with the executed fresco.
