Further details

AFTER MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI, HAMAN, BLACK CHALK, PEN AND BROWN INK, HEIGHTENED WITH OIL, THE CORNERS CUT

This large drawing studies the contorted figure of Haman in Michelangelo’s fresco Punishment of Haman, in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City.
It has previously been suggested that the present drawing was by the hand of Peter Paul Rubens (M. Jaffé, op.cit.), however this theory has been refuted (A.-M. Logan, op.cit.). Another sheet of the same subject is in the collection of the Louvre, Paris (inv. 20267; see J. Wood, 2002, op.cit.), attributed to Bartolomeo Passarotti (1529-1592), retouched by Rubens. The subject was anonymously engraved, and reissued by Antonio Lafreri in 1555, although Wood (2002, op.cit.) notes that neither the present sheet, nor the Louvre drawing are copies after the print, given the muscular detail that has been omitted in the production of the engraving.
