After a work copying Raphael (Urbino 1483-Rome 1520)
Two men on horseback 1858
A photograph of a drawing depicting two men on horseback now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice (inv. no. 35 recto). This drawing features on the verso a study for a lion (see RCIN 854507 for a photograph of the verso).
For the Gallerie dell'Accademia (see Bibliographic References) this drawing derives from the large fresco of the Crucifixion (now lost) painted by Perugino for the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Assisi, which is known through various preparatory drawings.
For further information see RCIN 854272, a copy of this photograph in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 47 (970607)
