The division of the lands

A photograph of a drawing catalogued by Ruland (1876) as then being in the Royal Library of Turin. Ruland thought the drawing to be a copy of one in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 912728; see also RCIN 853582 for a photograph of this drawing), which he considered to be the original sketch for the fresco 'The division of the lands' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the vault of the tenth bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican. RCIN 912728 is now attributed to Giulio Romano, and thought probably an elaboration of a study by Raphael for the fresco.
