This print is lettered on the plinth and signed by the printmaker. Annotated on the verso.

Titlepage of a series of prints reproducing the frescoes painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the Vatican Logge. This series was published under the name 'Sacrae Historiae Acta a Raphael Urbin in Vaticanis xystis ad picturae miraculum expressa', in Rome, 1649.
