Portrait of Pope Julius II
after 1860Carbon print | RCIN 852034
A photograph of the 'Portrait of Pope Julius II', a painting by Raphael (c.1511) now in the National Gallery, London (inv. NG 27). Not listed in Ruland's Raphael Collection catalogue (1876).
The composition is known through several painted and engraved copies. Ruland (1876) followed Passavant’s opinion (1860) and regarded a painting in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence (inv.1912, no.79) as the original by Raphael. That painting is now unanimously accepted as a copy by Titian after Raphael’s original portrait now commonly identified with the painting hanging in the London National Gallery.
