Victory, Janus, Chronos, and Gaea
by GIULIO ROMANO, Pen, brown ink, black wash over black chalk, 374 x 317 mm
The influence of Giulio Romano’s style spread throughout northern Italy and as far as Spain, France and Germany and wherever his followers happened to go. Yet ultimately it was his drawings that allowed Giulio to garner such an influential position in the contemporary art world. They were much coveted by both artists and patrons, indeed more than once whole batches of them were stolen.
