Morning Modelbuch (3/12/2019)

There is something joyful in the choice of sunny yellow and the contrasting blue to frame the grapes for this 16th century italian band in the Detroit Institute of Art. Or maybe it is just me wishing an overly long winter would give way to spring. https://www.dia.org/art/collection/object/band-25637

A similar design with squared grapes that would work well with the same technique is found in the Sessa brother’s 1564 _ I Frutti_ https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1518504h/f3.image
