A set of twenty-four prints reproducing the heads of some of the figures depicted in the fresco of Parnassus, painted by Raphael in c.1510-11 in the Stanza della Segnatura, Vatican. Each print is lettered along the bottom margin and numbered at top right. Probably from Tetes choisies de personnages illustres... published by Paolo Fidanza in Rome in 1785.
Paolo Fidanza became famous for publishing six volumes of prints of heads after Raphael between 1757 and 1763.Provenance
Added to the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
