Renaissance

Portrait of a Man, Possibly Girolamo Rosati, by Lorenzo Lotto, 1533–34
A work made of brush and opaque watercolor, on linen prepared with a gray ground, mounted to cream laid paper.
The Passion: Christ Before Annas, by Martin Schongauer, c. 1480
Portrait of Vincenzo Guarignoni, by Giovanni Battista Moroni, c. 1572
A work made of tempera on canvas.
This is a drawing of two armored knights on horseback during a joust. It depicts two horses with riders clad in full armor, including helmets with decorative details. Each knight holds a lance, poised as if they are about to engage in a jousting match. The horses are also adorned in armor, with a colorful caparison draped over them. On the ground, there are lances and a halberd seen in the foreground. There are also disembodied arms and hands illustrated in the composition, adding an abstract element. The style is illustrative, capturing the medieval theme of chivalric tournaments.
Painting of the Annunciation, dove flying above Mary with angel.
Venus Reclining in a Landscape, by Giulio Campagnola, c. 1508–9
