ABSTRACT

Very few sketches relating to the frescoes of the Pauline Chapel exist.1 One, as we saw in Chapter 6, is found on the verso of a preparatory study for Michelangelo’s gift of a drawing of Christ with the Samaritan Woman, another is a study drawing (Figure 8.4), which he made for a figure, perhaps that of the man with his arm raised, to the left of the horse in The Conversion of St Paul.2
