Raphael d'Urbin pinx.t
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").
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.
For the full set of seven, see ref. 34028. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.

Christ sleeps in the arms of the Virgin Mary, who raises her finger to her lips to prevent the young St John waking the baby. This gesture has given the picture the nickname of 'The Silence'.

Now in the Louvre (Louvre Inv.195), it has been reattributed to Domenichino, c.1605, as a contemporary copy of Carracci's original, once in the Farnese Collection but bought by George III in 1766 and now in the Royal Collection Trust.

A ghost-like Jesus appearing to the Apostles in an ornate room. After an engraving by Grégoire Huret (1606-70). Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.

By the time this plate was published in 1792 the painting was already in the Royal Collection, where it remains to this day (although it currently hangs at Osterley). One of few prints after Ricci, an itinerant Italian artist whose career took him all over Europe, including time spent in England.

[Christ healing the sick] 4 [top left]
T.W. 1758 [Thomas Worlidge after Rembrandt, published November 1758]
Etching, 275 x 390mm (10¾ x 15½"). Fine impression printed in brown; thread margins; glued to backing sheet at corners, stain, one small hole top centre.
Thomas Worlidge's (1700-66) copy of Rembrandt's famous 'hundred guilder print', depicting Christ healing the sick and debating with the Pharisees. Its sobriquet originated with a story that Rembrandt himself had to pay this (then exorbitant) price to buy back an impression. Since Rembrant etched his plate in 1648 it was celebrated as his most complex and ambitious print, and its masterful lighting compared with his 'Night Watch'. Its lasting influence in England is demonstrated by both Worlidge's attempt to take up the challenge of emulating Rembrandt, and by Captain William Baillie's notorious reissuing of the (heavily-worked) original plate. Posthumous impression: after Worlidge's death, his prints were republished by his widow with numbers added in the plate corners to correspond with her 1767 sale catalogue of Worlidge prints. The 'English Rembrandt', Worlidge (1700-66) was a pupil of Alessandro Maria Grimaldi, whose daughter Arabella he married.
