Saint Peter 1581-1644 Bernardo Strozzi Italian After training with Cesare Corte and about the time of his religious vocation, Strozzi entered the workshop of Pietro Sorri (1556-1622), the innovative Sienese painter sojourning in Genoa from 1956 to 1598, who led Strozzi's taste away from the somewhat artificial elegance of Cambiaso's late Mannerist style towards a greater naturalism. The Metropolitan Museum 'Saint Peter' likely dates later still, in the 1620s, when the taste for northern European art had found a receptive public in Genoa. Drawn with the incisively clear outlines and nearby calligraphic curved hatching of Albrecht Durer and Hans Baldung Grien, it depicts the apostle Peter as a pensive, bald, elderly peasant man with deeply furrowed brow, wild locks of hair, dense beard, and knobby-jointed fingers. In type and technique it relates to a bust-length Saint John the Evangelist (Louvre, Paris, inv. no. RF 38817; see Bernardo Strozzi 1995, no. 105). Probably part of a compendiu
