Holy Family with the Basin ['Madonna del Catino']
c.1580-1620Engraving | 29.2 x 25.3 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 851170
A print reproducing the so-called 'Madonna mit dem Becken' (Madonna del Catino), a painting by Giulio Romano (c.1525) currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden (inv. no.103). The lettering at upper right ascribes the painting to Raphael, to whom the picture has in fact long been attributed. First state with publisher's details. This print is thought to be based on an etching by Pietro Facchetti, in reverse (see RCIN 851171).
The print shows the three-quarter length Virgin bathing the Christ Child who turns His head towards the Infant Baptist who pours water over Him from a jug, with St Anne holding a cloth at left and St Joseph in the background at right; in an interior.
