Description: | IU CRE BAROCCI, Federico; (Italian; c.1535-1612) This is the greatest of the four etchings made by Barocci. It is closely related to the altarpiece which he made c.1582-4 for the chapel of the Duke of Urbino at Loreto, an important pilgrimage site. Barocci published the etching himself, and he probably made it to exploit interest in his painting. The building that can be glimpsed through the window behind the Virgin, is the Ducal Palace at Urbino. The plate had a long life: Rome print sellers G.G. and Domenico Rossi were offering it in their 1700 stocklist (Paris, Institut Neerlandais), p. 39, for 10 bajocchi. | 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: | ANNUNCIATION : ANGEL GABRIEL : VIRGIN MARY : DUCAL PALACE : ALTARPIECE : BIBLE : NEW TESTAMENT : LIFE OF CHRIST : URBINO : | 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 |
