AFTER A WORK COPYING THE WORKSHOP OF RAPHAEL (URBINO 1483-ROME 1520)
Martha leading Mary Magdalene to the Temple
c.1853-76Albumen print | 18.7 x 31.6 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 851626
A photograph of a drawing currently in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.4282), thought to be a copy after a sheet now in the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich (inv. 2467) related to one of the frescoes once in the Chapel of Mary Magdalene in the church of SS. Trinità dei Monti, Rome. The frescoes were executed by Giulio Romano and Gianfrancesco Penni between 1520 and 1524, and are now destroyed.
The composition is known through an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, which differs from the photographed drawing in some details; an impression of his plate can be found at RCIN 851621.
