Studies for a Ceiling (recto and verso) n.d. Michel Corneille the Younger French This sheet of energetic sketches has been attributed to the French seventeenth-century painter Michel Corneille the Younger, a successful and prolific decorator of royal residences. The artist studied in Italy and trained under Pierre Mignard (French, 1613-1676) and Charles Le Brun (French, 1619-1690). Corneille the Younger was also a practiced printmaker, who was employed by the German banker Everhard Jabach (1618-1695) to engrave the best Italian drawings in his collection. The artist covered the sheet here with a large number of individual sketches, featuring ideas for figural groups, for ornament, and for the overall scheme of a compartmentalized ceiling. Although it is not certain for which building this ceiling design was intended, the ornamental motifs and the crisp style of draftsmanship are thoroughly characteristic of Corneilles work..
