Abstract
Lazzaro Tavarone is considered one of the most important exponents of Genoese painting between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He was a very prolific draftsman and drawing played a very important role in his work. One of his hitherto unknown drawings is kept in the Drawings and Prints Cabinet of the National Gallery in Prague. It is a preparatory study for the fresco in the choir of the Genoa cathedral. The drawing depicts the Martyrdom of San Lorenzo. The article introduces the reader to the examination of the design and the culture in which the work is placed.
