Sicilian by birth, Tommaso Laureti (1530-1602) had a long professional career in Bologna and Rome. Although he was a prolific painter, fountain designer and active member of the Accademia di San Luca, Laureti is not well known as a draughtsman. The small number of securely-attributed drawings by the artist can now be expanded with the publication of this new work, catalogued among the anonymous sheets in the Musée du Louvre, which is a preparatory study for a still little-known Martyrdom of Saint Catherine.
