BaptismofChrist2014-09-19-09.46

Today’s sketch is from this month’s free museum Thursday which I would have shared earlier if I hadn’t been distracted by the Seahawks game going on at the same time.

Anyway this one’s my latest try at drawing the Baptism of Christ by Giovanni Battista Foggini. Between it and Lamentation over the Dead Christ by Massimiliano Soldani Benzi this is an ongoing challenge I like to take a crack at every couple of months since depending on the angle, not to mention the complexity this is a sculpture that gives me a completely different sketch every single time.

I confess I don’t think this one of better ones. The excuse I’m sticking to is I was sitting too far away from it.
