-
An etching by Sisto Badalocchio reproducing, in reverse, the fresco The Last Supper by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the vault of the thirteenth bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican. Trimmed within image; Badalocchio's signature is missing. This etching is presumably from the publication Historia del Testamento Vecchia of 1607.
The Historia del Testamento Vecchia reproduces all the frescoes in the loggia, with the etchings made by Sisto Badalocchio and Giovanni Lanfranco. The publication is dedicated to Annibale Carracci, with whom both Badalocchio and Lanfranco are said to have trained.Provenance
Added to the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
