Raphael's career as an architect saw him work on St Peter's Basilica, Vatican
AFTER A WORK ASSOCIATED WITH RAPHAEL (1483-1520)
The portico of the Pantheon
published 1870Wood engraving | 23.6 x 17.4 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854198
A wood engraving reproducing a drawing attributed to Raphael of the portico of the Pantheon (Raphael's final resting place) now in the Uffizi, Florence (inv. no.164 A). This print is lettered with a title in French at the bottom centre. It was published in the "Gazette des Beaux Arts" (January 1870) with the same French inscription.
This drawing is very close to a drawing now in the University Library, Salzburg (inv. no. H193/1), which has been recently catalogued as a copy after Raphael executed by an anonymous Italian artist during the 16th century.
Famous drawings by Raphael depicting the Pantheon tent all to be related to Raphael's Roman journey in 1506 (only recently the possibility of the artist's journey to Rome as early as 1506 has been proposed), while others drawings of Roman buildings and ruins are usually dated c.1512-1520 (see Bibliographic References).
