Vatican Frescoes

c.1860-76

Carbon print | RCIN 852688

A photograph of a drawing attributed to Giulio Romano now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.937). The drawing is generally regarded as one of Giulio’s discarded designs for the Costantine cycle in the Sala di Costantino in the Vatican, painted between 1520 and 1524. Another related drawing is in Stockholm (inv. no.329), and the finished modello is now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (inv. no.1948).

Ruland (1876) associated the photographed drawing with Raphael's fresco of 'The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple', executed in 1511-12 in the Stanza di Eliodoro in the Vatican.
  • Acquired for the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1860-76)
