French 16th/17th Century
1580–1610
French 16th/17th Century was a Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist drew in black and red chalk on old paper during France’s late 1500s. Their only surviving piece here is Head of a Man, a sharply lit face made with stony lines. Look at the way the red chalk catches the shadow across the brow—no color, just the pressure of the hand. Tap the paper itself to feel the laid lines under your fingertip.
