Barocci: Brilliance and grace, National Gallery

Rest on the Flight into Egypt. Before 1573 by Fredrico Barocci

 

He is now almost totally forgotten but when he was alive there were queues for days to see his altarpieces. (Like the Leonardo in 2011) He wasn’t commissioned until he was in his 30s, which gives me great hope. Not that I will ever draw anything other than a stickman but that I may achieve greatness later in life.
