A Unique Collection of Incredible Drawings

Three centuries ago the Count of Milan, Sebastiano Resta, began a rare drawings collection. Resta collection was unequalled for typology, quality and quantity of subjects of drawings. Sebastiano Resta gathered this extraordinary collection in a volume, that he himself called "Portable Gallery": a real traveling museum in which it is possible to follow characteristic traces of styles and artists of centuries before, but especially of the seventeenth century. The drawing collector noted in every page by himself, news, information, reflections, and anecdotes.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
