AFTER A WORK COPYING RAPHAEL (URBINO 1483-ROME 1520)

Angels appear to Abraham

c.1853-76

Albumen print | 18.7 x 24.6 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 853423

A photograph of a drawing now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv.no.172). It is catalogued as being an anonymous copy after a preparatory drawing attributed to Raphael (also in the Albertina; inv.no.171) for the fresco 'Angels appear to Abraham' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the vault of the fourth bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican.

Dacos (2008; see Bibliographic References) attributes this drawing (and the execution of the fresco itself) to Giovanni Francesco Penni.
