DOMENICO ZENOI (FL. 1559-74)

St Peter and St John healing a lame man at the gate of the Temple

c.1559-1574

Engraving | 25.6 x 40.8 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 853108

A print reproducing in reverse an engraving by Battista Franco which, in turn, depicts a composition based on Raphael's cartoon of 'The Healing of the Lame Man', designed for one of the Sistine Chapel tapestries in c.1515-16 (see RCIN 912946). Signed by the printmaker with the attribution of the composition to Raphael.  

It has been suggested that a (now lost) preparatory study by Raphael for the final composition may have served as model for Battista Franco’s engraving. A drawing now in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3988) has sometimes been described as a copy after such lost study by Raphael. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
