DIANA GHISI (ACTIVE 1570-90)

Christ's charge to Peter

c.1570-1590

Engraving | 22.9 x 36.9 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 853058

An engraving after a design related to Raphael's tapestry cartoon of 'Christ's Charge to Peter' (see RCIN 912945). Signed with engraver's name at lower left. Second state.

It has been suggested that Diana's engraving may be based upon a closely resembling drawing attributed to Raphael (c.1514-15) now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3863), or upon a workshop copy of it now in the Uffizi, Florence (inv. no.1216 E). See RCINs 853047, 853053.
