The Trinity with saints

A print after the fresco The Trinity with Saints, the upper part of which was painted by Raphael in the church of San Severo, Perugia, and is dated to 1505 by a later inscription. Lettered with title, attribution of the fresco to Raphael and Perugino and publication details. Numbered at top right: XVI. Annotated on the verso. Plate 16 in L'Ape italiana delle Belli Arti, Giornale dedicato ai loro cultori ed amatori, published in Rome between 1835 and 1838.

The Trinity with Saints is Raphael's earliest known fresco, but was left unfinished at his death in 1520. The bottom half of the fresco was then completed by Perugino. See RCIN 853796 for a photograph of a preparatory drawing by Raphael, now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, for the fresco. The figure of God the Father, which is almost entirely missing at the very top of the original fresco through damage, has been 'restored' in this print.
