5. Peter Candid, Pietà, pen and black ink and wash, heightened with white, 242 x 190mm., Albertina, Vienna, inv.1183. which is now in the Pinacoteca Civica, Volterra (fig.3) and its related, worked-up composition study in the Louvre (fig.4) 6 . In the cataloguing for the latter, Volk- Knüttel points out that the modeling of the figure of Christ derives from Michelangelo’s Pietà and that the drawing style also recalls that of early Michelangelo. The present previously unknown drawing serves to emphasise this link further still by echoing Michelangelo’s composition, while its style and handling have exactly the same spirit as the Louvre and Prado drawings. A slightly later work on the same theme, which has a terminus ante quem of 1595 is the preparatory drawing by Candid, now in the Albertina, Vienna (fig.5), for Sadeler’s engraving of the Pieta 7 . This latter drawing has a more Northern character, the figures are somewhat elongated and the effect created by the ink and white heightening is less sculptural. One further drawing by Candid of the Pietà, now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (fig. 6), was discussed by Stijn Alsteens in a recent exhitibion catalogue 8 . It shows the figure of Christ, as if kneeling, balanced against the Virgin’s knees as she supports his outflung arms. The motif is similar to that studied in the Berlin drawing mentioned above and to the related copper in Breslau but the style is distinctly later, closer to Sustris, and the Metropolitan’s drawing must date from after Candid’s summons to Munich. It is unique amongst Candid’s surviving sheets for being an architectural study - a design for an entire altar - and it was later turned into a print by Jan Sadeler I. Alsteens notes that the position of Christ seems to have been inspired by Michelangelo’s Pietà and goes on to speculate: Could Michelangelo’s sculpture have inspired Candid to design his own Pietà while he was still in Italy and, after moving to Munich, did he continue developing the idea … The present, newly discovered work, gives further evidence that this was indeed the case with its eloquent and monumental examination of form and drapery. 6.
