Description: | RH inscr. in plate b.r. "I.V.R."; inscr. in ink v. backing paper "BW / WP"; inscr. v. t.r. "From Vol. 31"; inscr. v. t.c. "HI / GIHA" AFTER PARMIGIANINO, Francesco Mazzola; (Italian; 1503-1540) AFTER RAPHAEL, Raffaello Santi; (Italian; 1483-1520) CRE UNKNOWN; (Italian; 1500-1600) 2nd state. Possibly from the collection of Benjamin West (initials on verso in pen and ink). This is an important technical rarity, a development of Parmigianino's designs for chiaroscuro woodcut. Alongside is an impression of the etched plate on its own. Since Vasari mentions that Parmigianino employed Antonio da Trento to make made copper-plate etchings, his name may provide the solution to the attribution of this important print. An etched plate allows a finer line than is obtainable with chiaroscuro woodblocks alone. | 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: | ACTOS OF THE APOSTLES : TAPESTRY CARTOONS : RELIGION : SAINT : ILLNESS : MIRACLE : CRIPPLE : BIBLE : | 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 |
