Engraving, sheet 490 x 405mm (19¼ x 16"). Trimmed inside plate lower edge; glued to backing sheet
Left sheet of a large engraving printed on two sheets from two separate plates, reproducing Raphael's fresco 'La disputa del sacramento', painted in 1509-10 in the Vatican palace, as part of Raphael's work in what was originally the Stanza della Segnatura, the private papal library. The fresco shows theologians gathered around an altar, debating transubstantiation, with, above them, Christ and other biblical figures, and God the Father. The portraits on this sheet include: the artist Fra Angelico, a self-portrait of Raphael, the architect Bramante, Popes Gregory I and Jerome; and (upper level left-right) the Biblical figures of Peter, Adam, John the Evangelist, David, Stephen, Joshua and Mary. Engraving published in 1617 by the engraver and publisher Philippe Thomassin (1562-1622), who specialized in reproductive engravings by Italian and French artists, and whose apprentices included the great printmaker Jacques Callot. After Thomassin's death the plate was acquired by the Rossi firm, who published a new edition (with their publication line added) in 1648.

London. Printed for John Bowles in Cornhil, & Carington Bowles in St Pauls Church Yard.
Mezzotint with very large margins, platemark approx 260 x 350mm (10¼ x 13¾").
The sacrifice at Lystra (now part of Turkey). Paul and Barnabas (right) have just healed a lame man, and the Lystrians, mistaking men for gods, attempt to offer a sacrifice to them. One from a set of seven mezzotints reproducing Raphael's cartoons, commissioned by Pope Leo X as designs for a set of large designs for tapestries to cover the lower walls of the Sistine Chapel. In 1623 the seven cartoons, depicting the Acts of St Peter and St Paul, were brought to England by Charles I. They were long displayed at Hampton Court and various engravings such as these in the 18th century reinforced the reputation of the cartoons as some of the most significant artworks in the country. Since 1865 they have been on loan from the Royal Collection to London's Victoria & Albert Museum, where they are permanently displayed together.
