    Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici fleeting from Florence disguised as a monk (right); Personification of earthquake (left)

    c.1665-90

    Etching | 12.6 x 29.4 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 853072

    A print reproducing, in reverse, scenes from the borders of the Sistine Chapel tapestries designed by Raphael under commission of Pope Leo X. Lettered with text in Latin describing the scene. With artists' names and plate number: 3, within image.

    The personification of earthquake is taken from the tapestry illustrating ‘St Paul in Prison’; the narrative scene is woven beneath Christ's Charge to Peter.

    From a series of 15 plates (including title-page with dedication to Leopoldo de’ Medici) after the monochromatic frieze-like scenes illustrating episodes from the life of Pope Leo X in the borders of the Sistine Chapel tapestries. The plates were etched by Pietro Santi Bartoli and the series was published in Rome by Gian Giacomo de Rossi.
