Sibyl Reading with a Child Holding a Torch, 1518-27. Creator: Ugo da Carpi (Italian, c

Sibyl Reading with a Child Holding a Torch, 1518-27. As the innovator of the chiaroscuro process in Italy, Ugos greatest achievement was the use of three and four tone blocks to simulate the subtleties of Raphaels ink wash drawings. Using woodcut, he duplicated the powerful contours, simplified forms, and spontaneous appearance of the Italian masters graphics. The design for Sibyl Reading has been traditionally ascribed to Raphael based on the several sibylline figures (one of whom is accompanied by a putto holding a torch) in the masters decorations for the Capella Chigi, Santa Maria della Pace, Rome (1511-14)-though there is no direct correspondence
