1858Albumen print? | 16.1 x 29.4 cm (image) | RCIN 2864294
A photograph of a drawing in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.168) considered a copy after the almost entirely destroyed fresco 'God's Covenant with Noah' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the basamento of the third bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican. See RCIN 853656 for a photograph of a preparatory drawing for this fresco.
According to Dacos (see Bibliographic References), the basamento paintings of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican were executed in grisaille and imitated bronze reliefs.
A copy of this photograph (RCIN 853657) can be found in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 38 (970598)
