In his Self-Portrait, Bandinelli depicts himself showcasing a drawing. The gesture is striking because it shows drawing taking the place of sculpture and because Renaissance sculptors were and are generally regarded as incapable draftsmen.

Just how exceptional was Bandinelli?

What drawings do we have from Renaissance sculptors and why were they made?

Join Michael Cole, Professor of Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art History at Columbia University and co-curator of the exhibition, as he explores these questions.

Museum hours: Open daily from 11 am to 5 p.m. and Thursdays until 9 p.m. Closed Tuesdays.
