Moses strikes the rock at Horeb
c.1853-76Salted paper print | 22.3 x 32.7 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 853537
A photograph of a drawing in the Uffizi, Florence (inv.no.509 E), attributed, with a question mark, to Raphael. The drawing is squared up in black chalk, presumably for transfer, and may be the modello for the fresco Moses strikes the rock at Horeb painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the vault of the eighth bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican.
Dacos (see Bibliographic References) has attributed this drawing, and the co-execution (alongside Pellegrino) of the fresco itself, to Tommaso Vincidor, who designed tapestries for Pope Leo X.
