About the Item

A very rare - finest quality - mid 16th century Italian Renaissance engraving (after Raphael) by an anonymous pupil of MARCANTONIO RAIMONDI (1480-1534) - titled 'Weeping Marys on the Body of Christ' or 'Lamentation'. Collector's Initials - MF - added at a later date in watercolor or sepia ink. There are only three other known copies of this work to have survived - one is in the permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Purchased - unframed - in the mid 1980's from Susan Davidson of Old Etchings and Engravings Limited in Toronto. Complete archival framing done in the mid 1980's - all acid free mounts and boards - float mounted within a beveled matte - all under glass and surrounded by a mixed silver and gold gilt frame. Excellent antique condition - holes in the paper (as photographed) - pin holes - stains from age and use - print cropped at an early date to just beyond the margins - a few minor scratches to the finish of the frame - preserved and ready to hang. Size of engraving - 6 3/8" wide x 7 7/8" high. Frame Size - 15 1/8" wide x 17" high x 1 3/8" deep. MARCANTONIO RAIMONDI - The engravings of M. Raimondi (1480-1534) dominated Italian print-making during the 16th century and inaugurated the tradition of reproductive engraving that survived only until the late 19th century. Raphael realized the merit of having his compositions widely known and encouraged Raimondi to engrave after designs that he supplied. The results were not mere copies but interpretations respecting Raphael's 'disegno' while making no attempt to imitate the texture of paint. Raimondi's work enjoyed a large market in both Italy and the North where it played an important role in disseminating the High Renaissance style. He hired and trained a number of engravers to assist him, including Agostino Veneziano di Musi, Marco Dente and the Master of the Die. His rather hard classical style is reflected in the work of his pupils, who closely adhered to his method of firm contour lines and diagonal hatching. His mostly anonymous team constituted the first internationally important engraver's shop. Over a period of about 15 years, they produced close to one thousand engravings after Raphael, before the shop was destroyed in the Sack of Rome in 1527.
