The two drawings are interesting examples of the draftsmanship of the Florentine Vincenzo and Pietro (Pier) Dandini. Pier Dandini’s composition reflects the artist’s fervent creativity and imagination in inventing ‘diavoli e mostri bizzarri’, a quality already praised in the 18th Century by his biographers (see S. Bellesi, ‘Una vita inedita di Pier Dandini’, Rivista d’Arte, VII, 1991, p. 157). Vincenzo’s drawing with Three prelates falling can be related to a painting of the Fall of Simon Magus, known only through documentary sources, once in the Targioni Tozzetti collection in Florence (Bellesi, op. cit., 2003, no. 24).
