E.96 Limosin, Christ Sent Away by Herod<\/p><\/div>\n

After Rosso?<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 115, 119, 208, n. 312, mentioned that two men at the left are copied from two in Rosso\u2019s Caritas Romana (Cimon and Pero)<\/em>, the stucco relief beneath the Cleobis and Biton<\/em> in the Gallery of Francis I.<\/p>\n

The figures mentioned by Kusenberg (see above), but three instead of two, are related to Rosso\u2019s relief (Fig.P.22, V S c<\/a>); they are, however, more closely related to the figures in the anonymous engraving dated 1542 of this scene (Fig.E.143, I<\/a>).\u00a0 Limosin could also have known Rosso\u2019s lost drawing from which this print would seem to have been made.\u00a0 Should Limosin\u2019s print be based on a lost drawing by Rosso of this entire scene, then one would have to assume that Rosso re-used his own figures, which is not an impossibility.<\/p>\n

Although not specifically related in any of its details to Donatello\u2019s reliefs, the etching does remind one of his Christ before Pilate and Caiphas<\/em> of the North Pulpit in San Lorenzo in Florence, which somewhat encourages one to see Limosin\u2019s print as dependent on a lost drawing by Rosso.<\/p>\n

LITERATURE: Du Sommerard, 1883, 363, no. 4620.\u00a0 Demartial, 1912, 23, Fig. 6, 25.<\/p>\n

The enamel is in the same direction as the print and follows it closely, although the scene is slightly enlarged on all sides with added figures and details to accommodate it to the oval format.\u00a0 Elsewhere other details have been changed and added.\u00a0 The figure seen from the back at the far right wears a garment over his torso and boots in the enamel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
