St Maur
1836Etching with engraving | RCIN 853794
A print reproducing the figure of St Maur on the far left of the upper half of the fresco The Trinity with Saints, painted by Raphael in the church of San Severo, Perugia, and dated to 1505 by a later inscription. Lettered with identification of the saint and the names of Raphael and the printmaker. On India paper. Annotated on verso.
The Trinity with Saints is Raphael's earliest known fresco, but was left unfinished at his death in 1520. The bottom half of the fresco was then completed by Perugino. See RCIN 853796 for a photograph of a preparatory drawing by Raphael, now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, for the fresco. According to Passavant's monograph on Raphael, which was published in 1839 (see Bibliographic References), this print and another by Krüger, reproducing the figure of Christ from the fresco (see RCIN 853793), were made in 1836.
