A charcoal study/sketch.

'The Fire in the Borgo'
1514
Fresco, width at base: 670 cm
Stanza dell'Incendio di Borgo, Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican
RAFFAELLO Sanzio
(b. 1483, Urbino, d. 1520, Roma)

Mainly Charcoal on Rag, 30x24.

The aim here was not exacitude, nor perfection, but to relive
the narrative of this historical event AD847, and appreciate
how this fresco was constructed from vignettes and studies.
It is, after all, only some charcoal, as poor shorthand for the
magnificent painting c1514 'Stanza dell'Incendio di Borgo'.
