They were joined by two fellows and a research assistant thanks to substantial financial support from the Getty Foundation as part of the ambitious grants initiative The Paper Project β Prints and Drawings Curatorship in the 21st Century. The fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian drawings are now available to study online for the first time thanks to this online collection catalogue.
There have, of course, been regular publications about the highlights of the collection, including drawings by the most famous artists such as Pisanello, Giorgione, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Jacopo Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese, and these works have also been shown in exhibitions. Now, however, we are able to bring wider attention to the less well-known, but certainly no less fine or interesting, drawings by other artists.
