Goldner, 1988, 108, the design by Rosso perhaps of the late 1530s because of the similarity to the Empedocles-St. Roch<\/em> in the Getty Museum.<\/p>\n

Scalli\u00e9rez, 1992, 17, 18, Fig. 10, as possibly related to Rosso\u2019s lost painting once at Fontainebleau.<\/p>\n

Franklin, 1994, 150, Pl. 114 (Vienna), as probably recording an early French painting by Rosso.<\/p>\n

This print, inscribed to Rosso, is now generally thought to be derived from a lost painting by Rosso that Cassiano del Pozzo saw at Fontainebleau in 1625.\u00a0 On this painting, see L.35<\/a>, where it is suggested that it was painted in 1530-1531.\u00a0 Stylistically, the image of the engraving is most closely related to Rosso\u2019s Christ in Glory<\/em> in Citt\u00e0 di Castello (Fig.P.20a<\/a>), completed in the spring of 1530, and his Mars and Venus<\/em> drawing (Fig.D.42a<\/a>), done in the summer of 1530 just before he arrived in France.\u00a0 It is probable that the print reverses the original lost image.\u00a0 Boyvin\u2019s authorship of this engraving, which bears his monogram, has never been doubted.\u00a0 Levron (1941,19) suggests that it is an early print by Boyvin, done around 1550-1555, but in the present state of our knowledge this cannot be verified.<\/p>\n

The details of the print suggest that it reproduces Rosso\u2019s work very well.\u00a0 But it is likely that Boyvin in Paris worked from a drawing by Rosso, or an accurate copy of one, rather than from the lost painting itself, which was at Fontainebleau.\u00a0 Less likely, he worked from a drawing made from the lost painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
