The stoning of St Stephen
1858Albumen print? | RCIN 2864312
A photograph of a drawing by Raphael now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.211). The drawing has occasionally been connected with 'The Stoning of St Stephen' from the Sistine Chapel tapestry series designed by Raphael in c.1514-15. It is now generally thought to be an earlier sketch of the same subject. A copy of the drawing is in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no.4125). For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
A copy of this photograph (RCIN 853080) can be found in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 31 (970590)
