This etching is based on a lost drawing by Rosso or by an assistant, the appearance of which is recorded in three copies, in Haarlem (Fig.D.65A<\/a>), St. Petersburg (Fig.D.65B<\/a>), and Turin (Fig.D.65C<\/a>).\u00a0 Fantuzzi\u2019s etching is identical to the composition shown in these copies, and all are almost exactly the same size.\u00a0 This is also the size of the copy of another drawing of this scene in Ensba in Paris (Fig.D.64<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The etching is in the opposite direction of Rosso\u2019s fresco and of the drawings related to it.\u00a0 The print differs from the copies in only small details.\u00a0 Fantuzzi\u2019s scene is slightly extended to the left and consequently more of two figures are visible there.\u00a0 This was probably done to fill out the plate.\u00a0 A piece of architecture has been added in the distance in the upper left corner.\u00a0 At the lower left, the woman\u2019s bare foot has been extended rather than bent at the toes as in the drawings.\u00a0 Coiffures have been slightly changed and the anatomy of the nude youths has been elaborated.\u00a0 But the latter in the print look like the youths in the copy of the other drawing, indicating that the three copies of the first drawing are probably not accurate here.\u00a0 The tree also has been furnished with masses of individual leaves in the etching. \u00a0In the various small ways that Fantuzzi\u2019s scene has been elaborated, this has been done in the spirit of Rosso\u2019s own style.\u00a0 Fantuzzi\u2019s etching probably shows Rosso\u2019s Scene of Sacrifice<\/em> better than any other surviving representation of it, including in certain respects the fresco itself, which was, it would seem, largely executed by an assistant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
