Description: | RU Verso: collector's mark of Heseltine (Lugt 1508), impressed in red ink CRE TRENTO, Antonio da; (Italian; c. 1508-after1550) AFTER PARMIGIANINO, Francesco Mazzola; (Italian; 1503-1540) Two blocks: green-black and green.
One of the four prints by Antonio da Trento referred to by Vasari, and based on a life drawing in black chalk in Modena, this work is generally interpreted as an image of the dead Narcissus at the spring. The classical bust to the left represents a nymph in mourning. Alternatively, the very pronounced musculature of the figure may mean that the figure is intended to represent the flayed body of the dead Marsyas. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | NUDE : MALE : FIGURE : CLASSICAL : WOODLAND : CHIRAROSCURO : NARCISSUS : MARSYAS : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
