After Luca Signorelli (c. 1445-1523)
Hercules and Antaeus c. 1857
A photograph of a drawing by Signorelli now in the Royal Library, Windsor Castle (RCIN 912805). Ruland (1876) correctly attributed the sheet to Signorelli and associated the figure of Antaeus in the drawing to that in an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi (RCIN 851837).
A copy of this photograph (RCIN 851841) can be found in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 18 (970577)
