Nowadays drawings are seen as great works of art, but this was not always so. Drawings were at the outset purely functional. So when did drawings become works of art? We will look at this phenomenon, pioneered by Leonardo and ultimately perfected by Michelangelo. Also what was it that constituted a presentation drawing; the nature of Michelangelo’s relationship through those that received these presentation drawings (Tomasso, Quaratesi, Colonna etc) and his architectural commission drawings for his most important patrons.
