Three states:<\/p>\n

I.\u00a0 Inscribed: 1542<\/em> on the base of the pier just to the right of the center of the composition, and in the margin below: QVO NON PENETRAT. AVT QUID NON EXCOGITAT PIETAS? QVAE IN CARCERE SERVANDI PATRIS NOVAM RATIONEM \/ INVENIT<\/em> (Where does not piety penetrate and what does it not invent? Which [piety] finds new understanding in the prison of the father worthy of preservation.)1<\/sup><\/a> followed by a leafy flourish.\u00a0 In this state the wall at the left is without brickwork, and the overall markings on the floor and risers of the steps are missing.<\/p>\n

II.\u00a0 As in State I but with the wall, floor, and steps completed.<\/p>\n

III.\u00a0 With short shadows cast downwards by the bars of the window on the wall, just left of center; also inscribed to the right of INVENIT <\/em>: Ant. Sal. exc.<\/em><\/p>\n

LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 168, as Anonymous, after Rosso\u2019s relief.<\/p>\n

De Witt, 1938, 45, no. 791, as Bonasone.<\/p>\n

Georges Wildenstein, \u201cLe go\u00fbt pour la peinture dans la bourgeoise parisienne entre 1550 et 1610,\u201d GdBA<\/em>, 6 s\u00e9rie, XXXVIII, 1951, 37, Fig. 28 (III).<\/p>\n

Zerner, in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 333, no. 440, as close to the manner of Domenico del Barbiere.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9guin and Pressouyre, 1972, 135, Fig. 200 (III), as Anonymous.<\/p>\n

Borea, 1980, 261, no. 664, 262, Fig. (I, Florence), as Anonymous.<\/p>\n

Massari, 1983, 34-35, nos. 5a and 5b, and Figs., as by Giulio Bonasone (and with other bibliography).<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1987, 44, 260-261, no. 81, with Fig. (New York, I).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The differences between this print and Rosso\u2019s relief in the same direction under the Cleobis and Biton<\/em> in the Gallery of Francis I are specified in P.22, V S<\/a>, where it is suggested that the etcher worked from a lost drawing by Rosso.\u00a0 In the print, which is slightly higher than the relief, the faulty drawing of the top edge of the window, which is parallel to the top of the print rather than in diagonal alignment with the bars in front of the window, would seem to be due to the etcher.<\/p>\n

There seems to be no real basis for relating this print to a Cesare Reverdino as suggested by Bartsch.\u00a0 The irregularity of its technique does not suggest Barbiere to me, although Zerner recognized some resemblance.\u00a0 Herbet, IV, 1940, 344 (1969? 191), 3, mentioned Renouvier\u2019s attribution of a print of this subject to Jacques Pr\u00e9vost, but whether or not this engraving is meant has not been determined.\u00a0 Massari\u2019s attribution of the print to Bonasone was already indicated by De Witt and is apparently supported by the other literature that she cites; see also Heinecken, above.<\/p>\n
