Standing Nude Man (recto); Three Studies of Soldiers (verso). Artist: Taddeo Zuccaro (Italian, Sant'Angelo in Vado 1529-1566 Rome). Dimensions: 16-9/16 x 11-5/16 in. (42 x 28.7 cm). Date: 1550.Along with his brother Federico, Taddeo Zuccaro was one of the leading mid-sixteenth-century painters in Rome, merging an admiration for the masters of the High Renaissance with elements of Mannerist design. In this powerful study of the nude male figure in action, he infused the close observation of naturalistic details with the heroic, sculptural monumentality of Michelangelo, who is said to have greatly admired the young Taddeo's gifts as a draftsman. Dating to about 1550, the study by Zuccaro is related to the figure of a soldier holding the reins of a horse in the foreground of a composition drawing (private collection) intended for a monochrome fresco on a (lost) palace façade in Rome. Though studied from life, the pose of the figure is partly inspired by the famous Roman marble group known
