The Cossack in a fur-coat and the Steppe Wind

Pencils, white charcoal and chalk, 12.11.2023.

Various photos and scans, because I cannot decide, which version is the best.

A special gift for @wanderer-on-the-steppe, who is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for my little Cossack-art and a perfect companion for my "exaggerated" Cossack heart!

Secret room, Medici Chapels, Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence

In 1530, Michelangelo went into hiding after receiving a death sentence from Pope Clement VII. The iconic Renaissance artist had been caught in the political strife of his patrons, the Medici family, who had just returned to Florence after being overthrown by a populist revolt in 1527.

During their exile, Michelangelo worked with the short-lived republican government to help secure the city’s defense walls and so became an enemy of his powerful supporters.

It is believed he spent two months stowed away in a tiny vault stretching just 32 feet long and 6.5 feet wide, with 8-foot ceilings at their highest points and a single window to the street, before the pope rescinded the sentence.

The claustrophobic room also became a canvas for the artist, who’s thought to have sketched dozens of drawings on the walls. Using carbonized wood and red chalk, the artist rendered several figurative works, including the head of the ancient Laocoön sculpture and iterations of his own masterpieces, including his Leda and the Swan painting and iterations of his David statue.

The drawings were hidden until 1975 when the then-director of the Medici Chapels, Paolo Dal Poggetto, was trying to find a new space for the museum exit. A trapdoor under a cabinet led to the room, which was filthy from housing slack coal for two decades. When the walls were finally stripped of two layers of plaster, the museum discovered the artworks.

Bored and under-stimulated in my office so did a study of one of the backlog of statue pictures I have saved to draw. This is one is a statue of Saint Secunda by Giuseppe Croff (1876) from the Duomo museum in Milan

#my art #I started it with a pink pencil that immediately broke so we switched to purple #the facial proportions are a little off and the pencil was dull but #and I made the cross too dark #I wish I was using charcoal and white chalk and gray paper I miss that from my art class years ago #I did not drapé the fabric heavily enough on the sleeve hmmmhgggggg

so im rewatching elementary for the ten billionth time and I am once again at the coveted "artist makes forgeries" episodes that are popular in case shows for some reason.

Its always funny to me how they explain it. "these dastardly and talented and poor artists heinously copy the work of famous artists" and there's a scene where they walk into their studio and there's this moment of shock at all these paintings! Here's the proof! Its the fake pearl earring! Arrest them!! As if recreations of famous (public domain) paintings aren't a common way to make money. And master copies aren't an extremely common way of study that gets taught to literal high schoolers.

#Most unrealistic part is that they aren't covered in charcoal #Just once I want them to arrest an artist and they have charcoal smeared sideways across their face #And are hacking and wheezing because they accidentally inhaled chalk pastel #We are not cool even a little bit #< did this #We wear black so much to cover up the amount of charcoal we are covered in #despite my griping i actually like these shows. they're goofy as hell.
