The Annunciation

c.1853-1876

Albumen print | RCIN 850307

A photograph of a painting depicting the Annunciation that Ruland (1876) catalogued as being then in the Ducal Collection, Gotha.

According to Ruland, this is a copy after a lost original by Raphael for the Grassi family in Bologna (c.1510-1511). Massari (see Bibliographic References) states that the painting was lost in 1773 and that the known prints depicting the composition are after a lost preparatory drawing. For a print after this painting, see RCIN 850308.
  • Acquired for the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
