Artist: Leonard Bramer, Dutch, 1596–1674, Dead Abel Mourned by Angels, Pen and black ink and gray wash on brown paper, image: × cm (7 1/4 × 10 11/16 in.), Leonaert Bramer was a member of the Bentvueghels (Birds of a Feather), a group of Netherlandish artists working in Rome in the early decades of the seventeenth century. Influenced by Caravaggio, Bramer became known as a painter of night scenes; he is thought, in turn, to have influenced Rembrandt. This drawing has a nervous calligraphy and strong contrasts of light and dark that are typical of the artist.
