Vatican Frescoes

Two rows of bishops shown seated

c.1853-76

Albumen print | 13.8 x 17.0 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 852810

A photograph of the recto of a drawing now in the Kunstmuseum in Düsseldorf (inv. no.F.P. 11r). The drawing is generally thought to be a preparatory study by Raphael for the fresco of 'The Coronation of Charlemagne', painted in the Stanza dell'Incendio in the Vatican in c.1516-17. The study connects with the group of bishops shown seated in the right foreground of the fresco.
