An engraving by Giovanni Petrini after 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. Lettered with attribution of the composition to Raphael and the signature of the printmaker. Numbered bottom right: XXXX. First state.
This engraving is from Pietro Montagnani's Picturae Peristyli Vaticani of 1790, for which a number of engravers reproduced the 52 frescoes in the loggia. The frescoes are framed by imagined decorative borders which do not correspond with the actual borders in the loggia.Provenance
Added to the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
