The miraculous draught of fishes

c.1853-76

Albumen print | RCIN 853021

A photograph of a drawing now in the Kupferstichkabinett, Staatliche Museen, Berlin (inv. no.493). The drawing corresponds to a drawing attributed to Raphael now in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 912749), of which it is supposed to be a reversed copy. It has also been suggested that the direct model for the Berlin drawing may be the chiaroscuro woodcut of this subject by Ugo day Carpi (RICNs 853019, 853020). For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.
  • Acquired for the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
