He was known as Il Grechetto in Italy and in France as Le Benédette.  A brilliant draftsman, Castiglione pioneered the development of the oil sketch (often using a mixture of mediums) as a finished work.  He returned to the same subjects, including that of sacrifice, over and over again, but with significantly different compositions each time. \"Collectors and and connoisseurs traveling to Venice...marveled at the brio and verve of execution...even if the works did not conform to the idealizing classicism favoured by many of Castiglione's contemporaries....they sensed that his drawings were at their best when they juxtaposed highly descriptive elements with deliberately unfinished passages.\" We can date the present drawing to the early to mid 1650s when the style of Castiglione's figures took on a marked and newly pronounced elongation. \"In part this was a re-engagement with Genoese late Mannerism, reprising a brief phases seen in the early 1640s but now taking the elegance of Biscaino, Castello and, from a century earlier, Parmigianino to such extremes that the results appear tortured rather than graceful.\"  (Timothy J.

During of the bombardment, Key was detained and spent the night on deck, watching the British rain shells onto the fort.  During the British assault, a large stars and stripes flag flew over the fort but during the bombardment it was obscured by smoke. Key feared the fort had surrendered. When the smoke of battle died down and the flag could be clearly seen, Key's emotions were powerfully stirred.
