Luca Cambiaso was an Italian painter and draughtsman and the leading artist in Genoa in the 16th century. He is considered the founder of the Genoese school who established the local tradition of historical fresco painting through his many decorations of Genoese churches and palaces. He produced a number of poetic night scenes.
He was a prolific draughtsman who sometimes reduced figures to geometric (even cubic) forms. He was a master in reducing figures to their purest forms and shapes, almost to abstract forms, which can also be seen in this sheet.
