Capturing the Sublime: Italian Drawings of the Renaissance and Baroque

This project is a wonderful example of collaboration at its best—many talented and knowledgeable people given the opportunity to do their best work. The collector’s vibrant personality inspired all who participated. Her collection of drawings is a tangible expression of her passion for beauty and for life itself.

Our book design creates a warm, open, and contemporary backdrop for the drawings while presenting significant and scholarly content to engage both the general public and academics alike.
