Model-books were widely circulated repertoires of stock patterns used by Medieval and early Renaissance Italian artists as sources of pictorial designs to be studied and copied. Although the artist for this sheet is unknown, the brush technique and relief-like effects strongly suggest the influence of Andrea Mantegna. <?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>\r\nAn almost identical horse appears in the adjoining small panel painting by the late-fifteenth-century Veronese artist Niccolò Giolfino. This work depicts an episode from the life of the virtuous noblewoman Chiomara, as narrated by Roman historians such as Plutarch, Livy, and Valerius Maximus. As in the roughly contemporary drawing, Giolfino’s horse may well have derived from a similar model-book prototype. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>\r\n<P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 8pt\"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></P>","remarks":"Italian Drawings"}],"media":[{"id":6086,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/x1943-271","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"Felton Gibbons, <i>Catalogue of Italian Drawings in The Art Museum, Princeton University</i>, (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1977).","citation":"Felton Gibbons, <i>Catalogue of Italian Drawings in The Art Museum, Princeton University</i>, (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1977)., Vol. 1: pp. 223-224, no. 710 (illustrated in Vol. 2 under the same catalog number)","date":1977,"id":263,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/2136968"},{"boilertext":"Laura Giles, Lia Markey, Claire Van Cleave,<i> </i>et. al., <i>Italian Master Drawings from the Princeton University Art Museum</i>, (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Art Museum, 2014).","citation":"Laura Giles, Lia Markey, Claire Van Cleave,<i> </i>et. al., <i>Italian Master Drawings from the Princeton University Art Museum</i>, (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Art Museum, 2014)., p. 6, cat. no. 2; p. 7 (illus.)","date":2014,"id":1855,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/869726410"},{"boilertext":"Barbara T.
