Daniele Ricciarelli (c. 1509-1566), also known as Daniele da Volterra, was an Italian Mannerist painter and sculptor during the Renaissance period, and an associate of Michelangelo. He was born in Volterra, Italy, and began his artistic training under the guidance of the painter Baldassare Peruzzi in Rome. Ricciarelli became known for his skill in painting frescoes and was commissioned to create works in various churches and palaces throughout Italy. One of his most famous works is the fresco cycle in the Cappella Orsini in the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini in Rome. In addition to his work as a painter, Ricciarelli was also a talented sculptor. He created several sculptures for the tomb of Pope Julius II in the San Pietro in Vincoli church in Rome, including the famous statue of Moses with horns on his head, which caused controversy at the time. Later in his career, Ricciarelli became known for his skill in creating erotic art, which was a departure from his earlier religious works.
After Michelangelo's death, Daniele was commissioned by Pope Paul III to paint over the nude figures in Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" fresco in the Sistine Chapel with loincloths, earning him the nickname "Il Braghettone" (the breeches maker). Despite this controversial work, Ricciarelli continued to receive commissions and was highly regarded in his lifetime. He died in Rome in 1566 at the age of 57.
Conrad Martin Metz (1749-1827) was a German artist and publisher. He studied in London at the Royal Academy Schools as well as with the engraver Francesco Bartolozzi. Metz engraved many religious subjects after the old masters in publications such as Imitations of Drawings by Parmegiano. In 1801 he went to Rome, where he undertook his most ambitious project, which was a huge engraving combining fifteen plates from Michelangelo’s Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel.
This print is in the collection of the Royal Academy in London and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

- "Neptune Washington", Fisherman Polling His River Boat in the Rain by Ron AdamsLocated in Alamo, CA"Neptune Washington" is a large contemporary lithograph by Ron Adams (1934- ), created in 1996. It depicts a muscular African-American fisherman polling his fishing boat in a river in the rain. Adams distinctive rendering of Neptune conveys his great strength, as well as the grace, fluidity and balance of his body. He is barefoot and shirtless, dressed in striped overalls with his right shoulder strap undone. A bucket of fish sits next to his left foot, while fishing line, an open tin can and a frog are seen on a wet bench in front of Neptune. A long-necked white bird (crane) sits on a log floating by in the river near the opposite shore. Ominous storm clouds are present in the background over trees, brush and rocks along the opposite river bank. The lithograph is printed on handmade deckle-edged paper and presented with a museum style floating mount in a black wood frame with a thick cream mat and glazed with UV protected plexiglass. It is signed in pencil in the right lower corner along with the date, '96. The title "Neptune Washington" is inscribed in pencil in the lower margin in the center and initials HGI are in the lower left. The initials HGI may stand for Hand Graphics Institute, which Adams founded in New Mexico. The initials rather than the usual edition number (which consisted of 70), possibly signify an artist proof or possibly a Hors-Commerce (before trade) printing. The print is in excellent condition. The frame measures 38" x 30.25" x 1.25". Ron Adams is a prominent African-American master printmaker. His detailed depictions of African-American musicians, craftsmen, folk heroes and everyday people have made him one of the top figurative artists and printmakers in the country. He has worked with and taught many other well-known artists, including Frank Stella, Charles White, John Biggers, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Jones...Category
