An etching after one of the compositions in the window embrasures of the southern (Jurisprudence) wall of the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican. Lettered with text in Latin below image. This is the right-hand fragment of a wider etching also reproducing 'The Emperor Costantine's Donation', a composition painted in the window embrasure of the Stanza di Eliodoro. The left-hand fragment, lettered with publishing details, can be found at RCIN 852799.
Published in 'Picturae omniumque bonarium Artium Cultori eximio...', a series of 15 plates (including title-page with dedication to Nicolò Simonelli) reproducing monochromes supposedly designed by Raphael for the Vatican stanze and the Sistine Chapel tapestries. The plates were etched by Pietro Santi Bartoli and the series was published in Rome by Gian Giacomo de Rossi. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
A related study by Raphael for this composition is now in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 903720v).
