Mythology & Putti

AFTER A WORK PREVIOUSLY ATTRIBUTED TO RAPHAEL (URBINO 1483-ROME 1520)

Children and putti playing

c.1853-76

Albumen print | 17.2 x 24.9 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 851877

A photograph of a drawing now in the Staatliche Kunstakademie, Kupferstichkabinett, in Düsseldorf (inv. no.D.208). Another drawing of this subject survives in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3887; photograph at RCIN 851878). The composition was reproduced in reverse in a chiaroscuro woodcut by the Monogrammist NDB, an impression of which can be found at RCIN 851879. Scholars have pointed out connections between this composition and the so-called 'Giuochi di putti', a set of tapestries designed by Giovanni da Udine/Tommaso Vincidor and woven in Flanders for Leo X. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
