The abundance of the garlands, as in the decoration of the Cleobis and Biton<\/em> wall in the Gallery of Francis I, their suspension by lions\u2019 heads, as above the Dana\u00eb<\/em> (Fig.P.22, IV S a<\/a>), although there seen in profile, and the cupid, which looks like so many of the putti in the gallery though none of them are asleep, all suggest that this engraving may preserve a fragment of a design by Rosso.\u00a0 In his total abandon to sleep the cupid also recalls the figure at the bottom of Rosso\u2019s painting in Los Angeles (Fig.P.24a<\/a>).\u00a0 Sleeping figures of putti occur in two Rossoesque etchings by Fantuzzi (Fig.RE.21<\/a>),\u00a0and Zerner, 1969, A.F.42, and in another by him of Primaticcesque style (Zerner, 1969, A.F.55, and Zerner, in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 268, Fig., 269, no. 319).\u00a0 The upper left putto in the latter etching is very similar to the cupid in the engraving, but in reverse.\u00a0 One suspects, however, that the etched putto is inspired by one by Rosso.\u00a0 Putti reclining on garlands, but not asleep, can be seen in an anonymous cartouche framing two landscapes (Bartsch, XVI, 1818, 429, 131; Zerner, IB<\/em>, 33, 1979, 406).\u00a0 One can imagine an invention by Rosso behind all these reclining figures.\u00a0 The extravagances of the engraved image strongly indicate such a source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
