LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Vasari, 1568, 11, 306 (Vasari-Milanesi, V, 427), stated that \u201cEnea Vico da Parma… intagli\u00f2 in rame il ratto d\u2019Elena del Rosso.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pittaluga, 1928, 182, 181, Fig. 116, Copy A. 182, as after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Kusenberg, 1931, 170, as not after Rosso but after Giulio Romano, and as representing the Rape of the Leucippides<\/em>.<\/p>\n

De Witt, 1938, 87, State III, as after Raphael.<\/p>\n

Alfredo Petrucci, \u201cIl ratto di Elena,\u201d Il Messagero<\/em>, Rome, July 29, 1953.<\/p>\n

Petrucci, 1964, 61, 100, n. 102, 104, Pl. 58 (State II).<\/p>\n

Poirier, 1964, 63.<\/p>\n

Ferrara and Gaeta Bertel\u00e0, 1975, no. 503, with Fig. (Bologna), as Vico after Rosso.<\/p>\n

Massari, 1989, 253, 260-261, no. 9.9 (States II-V), Fig. (Rome, Fondo Nazionale), as Vico after Rosso.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This print, which shows no centaurs and the abduction of only one woman, would seem to be the print mentioned by Vasari as the Rape of Helen<\/em>.\u00a0 Bartsch referred to Vasari\u2019s attribution but did not accept his designation of the subject.\u00a0 Kusenberg seems right in attributing its design to Giulio Romano.<\/p>\n
