Fig.RE.16a<\/a>\u00a0(London)
\nFig.RE.16b<\/a> (Paris)<\/p>\n

Bartsch, XVI, 1818, 399, 59, as Anonymous, School of Fontainebleau, after Rosso.\u00a0 Zerner, 1969, A.F.67 (Paris), probably 1543, after Rosso.<\/p>\n

LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 167, as Anonymous, after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Zerner, in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 271, no. 322, as Fantuzzi after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Zerner, IB<\/em>, 33, 1979, 334 (Paris).<\/p>\n

Davis, 1988, 195, under no. 82, Fig. (London), as after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Boorsch, in French Renaissance<\/em>, 1994, 245-246, no. 43, Fig. and Color Pl. 7 (Paris, Ba 12, vol. 1, in red ink), as Fantuzzi, as showing Hercules and Cacus(?), and as no doubt after Rosso, the setting similar to the background of Primaticcio\u2019s Holy Family<\/em> in the Hermitage, and of the Holy Family<\/em> drawing in Berlin (no. 22478), but noting also the background in Giulio Romano\u2019s works, his altarpiece in S. Maria dell\u2019Anima, Rome, and his Virgin and Child<\/em> in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

Carroll, 1995, 303, as not after Rosso, but rather more like Giulio Romano.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9guin, 1995, 193, may be referring to the background of this print with reference to the background of Primaticcio\u2019s Scene of Fire<\/em> in Ensba, Paris (Brugerolles and Guillet, 1994, 46-49, no. 17, Fig.).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The figures in this scene have a thickness of proportion, and Hercules a brutish appearance, that are not identifiable with Rosso\u2019s more graceful art.\u00a0 One might expect in such an image some relation to Rosso\u2019s ornamental and witty Hercules<\/em> episodes engraved by Caraglio in Rome (Fig.E.24<\/a>), or some correspondences with a few of the frescoes in the Gallery of Francis I, such as the Combat of Centaurs and Lapiths<\/em> (Fig.P.22, I S a<\/a>) or the Scene of Sacrifice<\/em> (Fig.P.22, VII N a<\/a>), but there are none.\u00a0 I have thought of a possible association with Bandinelli or, more likely, Salviati, but also with Giulio Romano, to whom the background can be related.\u00a0 That background architecture is also related to that in the background of Primaticcio\u2019s Holy Family<\/em> in the Hermitage, but in reverse, which could have been gotten from the artist\u2019s association with Giulio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
