Milo of Croton
c.1853-1876Albumen print | 22.1 x 18.1 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854588
A photograph of a drawing now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.9), where it is attributed to the circle of Pietro Perugino. Milo of Croton, a 6th-century BC wrestler, is here depicted while carrying a bull on his shoulders and Ruland (1876) believed this was copied from a bronze statue. Annotated on the verso.
Parker (see Bibliographic References) gives an account of the different attributions suggested for this drawing, which spread from Perugino and his circle to Raphael. He also added: "it might be that this drawing is in fact by Perugino himself" or "by Raphael", on the basis of similarities with other drawings by the master in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. nos. WA1846.146, WA1846.145 and WA1846.147).
