-
A chromolithograph by Alexandre-Désiré Collette reproducing the decoration of the interior pier and half-pilaster to the left of the first bay of the Loggia and the exterior pilaster of the thirteenth bay, designed by Raphael and executed by his workshop (c.1517-19) in the Vatican. Lettered at bottom with publication details and creators' names. On two sheets of joined paper.
According to Ruland (1876), this chromolithograph and another reproducing the pilaster between the first and second bays of the Loggia (RCIN 853711) were published in Paris in 1860 and edited by J. de Filippi. The representation of the pilaster and other architectural elements of the Loggia here is identical to that published by Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato in their publication Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano (1772-7), which was presumably the source copied in the production of this chromolithograph. See RCIN 853703.q for the print by Ottaviani.Provenance
