Most prints bearing Rosso\u2019s name can be shown by comparisons with the style of other works and with documentary evidence to have been based on his designs.\u00a0 There are, however, few works certainly by Rosso with which to compare this engraving.\u00a0 The various romping putti, painted and in stucco, in the Gallery of Francis I present the only comparisons, especially those painted below the Combat of Centaurs and Lapiths<\/em> (Fig.P.22, I S a<\/a>), better seen in the Vienna tapestry (Fig.P.22, I S,Tapestry, b<\/a> and Fig.P.22, I S,Tapestry, c<\/a>) and in the anonymous print formerly attributed to Boyvin (Fig.E.139<\/a>), in stucco above the Education of Achilles<\/em> (Fig.P.22, II N a<\/a>), and painted beneath the stucco panels flanking the Cleobis and Biton<\/em> (Fig.P.22, V S a<\/a>), better seen in the Vienna tapestry (Fig.P.22, V S,Tapestry, a<\/a>).\u00a0 But they are more similar to the figures that appear in the tapestries than to the painted ones in the gallery, not simply because the former are better preserved, but also because, like the putti in the print, they are more varied in their anatomies and more elaborated in the details of their hair and accessories.\u00a0 The engraver could be responsible for these supposed elaborations.\u00a0 In the background, the round building, with a spiral ramp, and the obelisk are architectural types that do appear in Rosso\u2019s works, such as the Cleobis and Biton<\/em> and the Unity of the State<\/em> (Fig.P.22, VI S a<\/a>).\u00a0 It is, therefore, possible that this composition of playing putti (made probably for a place in a decorative scheme) is by Rosso, and that it was designed in France in the second phase of his activity in the gallery, 1534-1536.\u00a0 But there is a smoothness in the figures and a degree of sameness about them that speak against Rosso\u2019s authorship.\u00a0 Thiry\u2019s reduction of Rosso\u2019s art comes to mind.<\/p>\n

Neither Boyvin\u2019s name nor monogram appears on the print and the style of the engraving does not immediately suggest him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
