The "Animal Studies" from a notebook by Giovannino de' Grassi, dating back to the 1390s, represents a seminal work in the history of art, particularly within the realm of naturalistic drawing and the study of animal forms. Giovannino de' Grassi, an Italian Gothic artist, architect, and principal master of the Lombard school, is renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style. His notebook, often referred to as a sketchbook, is a collection of meticulous and vivid drawings that showcase his profound observation skills and his ability to capture the essence and dynamism of various animal species with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity.

This sketchbook is considered one of the earliest and most significant examples of naturalistic study in Western art, predating the widespread practice of detailed observational drawing that would flourish during the Renaissance. De' Grassi's drawings are not merely static representations; they convey the movement, texture, and spirit of each animal, ranging from the domestic to the exotic. His work demonstrates an exceptional understanding of anatomy, proportion, and perspective, which was unparalleled at the time.

The "Animal Studies" include a wide variety of subjects, such as dogs, cats, lions, horses, and dragons, each rendered with individual character and vitality. These drawings were not only artistic expressions but also served as a valuable reference for other artists and craftsmen of the period, influencing the depiction of animals in sculpture, metalwork, and manuscript illumination.

Giovannino de' Grassi's notebook, preserved and treasured as a masterpiece of Gothic art, provides invaluable insights into the artistic practices and cultural interests of the late 14th century. It stands as a testament to the artist's skill, his keen observation of the natural world, and his pioneering role in the development of naturalistic art. The "Animal Studies" continue to be celebrated for their beauty, precision, and influence, marking Giovannino de' Grassi as a pivotal figure in the history of art.
