LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Mariette, Ab\u00e9c\u00e9dario<\/em>, 1858-1859, 19, as Boyvin after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 161.<\/p>\n

Linzeler, 1932, 170.\u00a0 Both as Boyvin after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1987, 44, 270-271, with Fig. (Vienna).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This engraving is related to the painted scene to the right of the Royal Elephant<\/em> in the Gallery of Francis I and shows it in the original direction (Fig.P.22, VI N a<\/a>).\u00a0 The print shows part of a scythe at the lower right that does not appear in the painting.<\/p>\n

The print is probably based on a lost drawing by Rosso of 1534-1536, details of the composition of which were only slightly modified when it was transferred to the wall in the gallery.\u00a0 Most significantly different is the face of the horse, which is more in profile in the painting, and more plausibly described.\u00a0 Philyra is pulling the horse\u2019s mane in the print but only playing with it in the fresco.<\/p>\n

Neither signed nor bearing Boyvin\u2019s monogram, the attribution of this print to him or his shop is not certain.\u00a0 The print forms a pair with E.9 (Fig.E.9<\/a>), the Rape of Europa<\/em>, also in the original direction of Rosso\u2019s painting in the gallery.\u00a0 Boyvin\u2019s prints are generally in reverse of their models.\u00a0 The fact that these scenes are not reversed may eventually bear upon the identification of the engraver.<\/p>\n

For another print wrongly ascribed to Boyvin but related to the framing of the Combat of Centaurs and Lapiths<\/em> in the Gallery of Francis I, see Anonymous, E.139, (Fig.E.139<\/a>), Two groups of three putti on and before two garlands of fruit hanging from a mask in the center<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
