"description": "Federico Barocci, who worked in Urbino, made landscape sketches for use in his paintings and as independent studies. The artist\u2019s multimedia approach\u2014combining chalks, ink washes, and opaque paints\u2014was novel at the time but would become standard practice for landscape artists working in later centuries. Novel, as well, was his interest in excerpts of the natural world rather than fully realized scenes. Here, the artist drew an eroded bank with a few bold lines in black chalk, then used a brush to layer brown and white ink washes, capturing the untamed clump of earth with
remarkable naturalism.",
