Catalogue Note
Domenico Campagnola, a pupil of Giulio Campagnola, trained in early 16th Century Venice under the influence of Titian and Giorgione. An engraver as well as a draughtsman, his drawings share a strong compositional vocabulary with that of the print. The present study, executed with Campagnola's distinct penmanship, is comparable to The jealous husband who kills his wife, a drawing in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, Paris.1 The handling of the figures, in the Paris study, with the use of cross hatching to develop form and the bolder strong ink lines to denote and highlight facial features, can be seen in our drawing.
