• Resumen

  • The article presents unpublished drawings by Cristoforo Roncalli, known as Pomarancio (Pomarance, c. 1553-Rome, 1626), preparatory for the paintings in two important Roman projects carried out by the artist in te 1580s and 1590s in the Della Valle and Mattei chapels in Santa Maria in Aracoeli and the Caetani chapel in Santa Pudenziana.

    A study of Pomarancio's graphic oeuvre makes it possible to cast light on his practice, which must have depended on an experienced team of collaborators to implement complex endeavours such as those mentioned above, although he always supervised their overall progress. These works provide evidence of a meticulous artist engaged in formal and technical approaches still rooted in late Mannerist tradition yet at the same time aware of the new trends towards naturalism.
