The artistic goal of 16th-century Venetian artist Battista Franco was the clarity and perfection of drawing. His extraordinarily delicate work, developed with the curiosity of an archaeologist, was inspired by many models and garnered praise from critics and artists alike (from Aretino to Palladio). The Louvre owns some splendid examples of these subtle drawings that have always been much sought after by collectors; this exhibition presents them to the public for the first time in all their splendor.
