The Discovery of the True Cross 1581-1644 Bernardo Strozzi Italian This drawing can be attributed with confidence to Bernardo Strozzi, who was, along with Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (1609-1664), the greatest Genoese Baroque painter. The Museum owns an expressive study in black chalk by Strozzi, a "Saint Peter" in bust-length (1993.241), as well as the only print by the artist, a "Virgin and Child with St. John" (1972.693). Pen and ink sketches by Strozzi are relatively rare. In this drawing, the rapid and bold summing up of forms as spheres, the mannered, downward-tilt of the heads of many figures, and the use of broad areas with long, parallel, slightly curved hatching, can be compared precisely to Strozzi's early "Children and Angels Dancing Around the Cross Held by the Christ Child" (Morgan Library and Museum, inv. 1981.101), a drawing that was exhibited at the Museum in 1996 in the show "Genoa: Drawings and Prints.". Further relevant sketches by Strozzi are in the Gabinetto dei
