AFTER? GIOVANNI FRANCESCO PENNI (1496-C. 1536)

The miraculous draught of fishes

1858

Albumen print? | 17.4 x 30 cm (image) | RCIN 2864305

A photograph of a drawing now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.182). The drawing corresponds with one of the small scenes painted in monochrome in the window-embrasures of the Stanza dell'Incendio in the Vatican. It has been suggested that the drawing may be either Gianfrancesco Penni's modello for the fresco or a copy after it. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.

A copy of this photograph (RCIN 852865) can be found in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 29 (970588)
