Venus Drying Herself ("Cesarini Venus")

Antonio Susini · late 16th or early 17th century · bronze ·  Accession ID  2022.181.59

The drawing shows an architectural interior with enormous arches and long columns. It features a room with multiple connected dome ceilings decorated with square panels above rows of columns along the sides of the space. Wispy clouds float up into the dome's top, far above the ground. In the distance, throughout several long, column-lined halls, is a white arched opening. Closest to us, at the bottom of the drawing, there is a long set of stairs with two statues to the left and right of center. Upon closer inspection, miniscule people become visible on the stairs and on the long floor of the hall. The people wear robes and sit and stand in groups.
