E.11 Boyvin, Twins of Catania, III?<\/p><\/div>\n

Engraving by Ren\u00e9 Boyvin, 31.3 x 43 L, including lower margin of 2.8 (Florence).<\/p>\n

Three states:<\/p>\n

I.\u00a0 Inscribed in the margin below, at the left: ROVS .<\/sup><\/strong> FLORENT .<\/sup><\/strong> INVENT . <\/sup><\/strong><\/em>; in the middle: HOC PIETATIS OPVS \/ Neglectis opibus cum munere fortis iniguae, \/ Baiulat haec Matrem, Baiulat ille patrem.<\/em>; at the right: Renatus .<\/sup><\/strong> B .<\/sup><\/strong> Andegauensis .<\/sup><\/strong> Faciebat. \/ Luticiae Parisiorum. \/. .<\/sup><\/strong> B .<\/sup><\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Late impressions of this state show at the upper right of the image dark spots resulting from the oxidation of the plate.\u00a0 Robert-Dumesnil considers impressions with these spots but without the inscription added in State II as constituting a State III with that inscription removed.\u00a0 But there are no remaining traces of that inscription on any impressions that I have seen to indicate its removal, while there is a later state with it and with another inscription.\u00a0 So it is likely that Robert-Dumesnil was wrong.<\/p>\n

II.\u00a0 With the additional inscription in the margin at the lower right: Aug. Quesnel excud<\/em>.<\/p>\n

III.\u00a0 The Quesnel<\/em> inscription removed (see Le Blanc as State III), and a monogram composed, it seems, of C and F in the lower right corner (Vienna).<\/p>\n

IV.\u00a0 Also inscribed at the lower left of the image: Fr. Marzot excud<\/em>.\u00a0 The oxidation spots have been partly rubbed out.<\/p>\n

The engraving is specifically based upon a drawing in Amsterdam (Fig.D.60<\/a>) that is a copy of a lost drawing of 1535 or 1536 by Rosso for his fresco in the Gallery of Francis I (Fig.P.22, V N a<\/a>).\u00a0 The print is in reverse of the fresco and the drawing.<\/p>\n

Levron, 1941, 18, suggested that the engraving was made in 1550-1555, partly at least because it bears Boyvin\u2019s full name as well as his monogram.\u00a0 The drawing in Amsterdam could be by him, but it could also be by someone in his shop who provided such disegni di stampe<\/em>.<\/p>\n
