In the 18th century, the drawings of the Italian school bear witness to a technical refinement inherited from the Renaissance. The artists prefer the chiaroscuro and the expressive rendering of human forms. Rome and Venice remain major centers of baroque influence. The drawings are often used as preparatory studies for frescoes or religious paintings. This period also marks a growing interest in genre scenes and mythological subjects.
