modello A preparatory drawing or painting for a larger work, particularly one made to be shown to a patron. Since the object was to impress the patron and give him a clear idea of the picture that the artist had in mind, a modello was more elaborate and fully worked out than a sketch or bozzetto. Rubens's work is particularly rich in modelli.
