AFTER RAPHAEL (1483-1520)
The Coronation of the Virgin with Saints
c.1835-75Lithograph | 33.9 x 30.0 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 853218
A lithographic facsimile of a drawing by Raphael now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no.WA1846.206). Made for the Lawrence Gallery. A series of facsimiles of original drawings by Raffaelle da Urbino (London 1841), but eventually not included in the series. See RCIN 853217 for a photograph of the drawing.
The drawing has been connected with a number of projects associated with Raphael, including a tapestry supposedly part of the Sistine Chapel series illustrating the Acts of the Apostles and the Monteluce altarpiece.
Two variants of this composition are known: an engraving by the Master of the Die (see RCINs 853211-15) and a drawing (by G.F. Penni?) now in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3883; see RCIN 853219 for a photograph of it). For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
