EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Charles Borromeo, the esteemed Italian Catholic Cardinal and Archbishop of Milan (1538-1614), is depicted in this 17th-century drawing, "Saint Charles Borromeo Venerating the Relics," created by the workshop of Cesare Nebbia. The drawing, executed in pen and brown ink with brush and brown wash over graphite on cream laid paper, portrays the saint in deep reverence as he carefully examines the relics contained within an ornate casket or chasse. The image captures the essence of Borromeo's unwavering devotion to his faith, as he humbly kneels before the sacred objects, his posture exuding a sense of respect and awe. The artist masterfully employs the use of brown ink and wash to create a rich, textured background, while the figures are rendered in graphite, adding depth and contrast to the composition. This drawing is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Italy during the Baroque period. The intricately detailed box, or "chasse," which holds the relics, is a common motif in religious art of the time, symbolizing the preservation and veneration of Christian history. The drawing is an invaluable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, offering a glimpse into the devotional practices and artistic traditions of the past. The drawing, believed to have been created around 1604, is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of faith and spirituality on art and culture. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the history of art, Christianity, or the intricacies of religious iconography.
