Fig.RE.17<\/a> (London)<\/p>\n

Bartsch, XVI, 1818, 345, 20, as Fantuzzi after Primaticcio.\u00a0 Herbet, II, 1896, 264 (1969, 60), 55, as after Primaticcio, but noting that it has been attributed to Rosso.\u00a0 Zerner, 1969, A.F.75 (Paris), as 1544-1545, the inventor of the composition seeming\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to be Rosso, whose style has been transformed by Fantuzzi in a Primaticcio-like manner.<\/p>\n

LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Sch\u00e9fer, 1894-1929, col. 552, no. 12, after Primaticcio?<\/p>\n

Dimier, 1900, 462, as after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Zerner, 1964, 75, as 1544-1545.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9guin, RdA<\/em>, 1969, 105, stated that there are several drawings of this subject, one in the St\u00e4delisches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt, and that the composition is probably by Rosso.<\/p>\n

Zerner, in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 273, no. 326, as perhaps after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Zerner, IB<\/em>, 33, 1979, 240 (Paris).<\/p>\n

K. Wilson-Chevalier, in Fontainebleau<\/em>, 1985, 71, Fig. 25 (Paris), 72-73, no. 25, as after Rosso.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The etching is related to, but in reverse of, the drawing in Frankfurt mentioned by B\u00e9guin, a drawing that is a copy of a lost original that Fantuzzi may have worked from, unless he worked from this copy, which bears the marks of a stylus.\u00a0 As discussed in the Catalogue of Rejected Drawings (RD.16<\/a>), this drawing (Fig.RD.16<\/a>), in spite of its Rossoesque qualities, is most probably a copy of a lost drawing of the early 1540s by Primaticcio.\u00a0 A small area of the composition around the top of the print would seem to have been added by the etcher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
