Engraving. Image 205 x 250mm (8 x 9¾"). Trimmed within plate on three sides, remarginned with old paper, original bottom margin frayed.
The chryselephantine (gold & ivory) statue of Jupiter (more correctly Zeus) at Olympia, from a series depicting the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The giant figure sits astride an eagle, dwarfing the worshippers. To his right is a statue of Hercules, and in the foreground is a regal figure handing out wreaths to the winners of the Olympic Games, with a pair of wrestlers bottom right. The engraver was either of two Jacques Honervogts, father (active 1608-66), or son (c.1623-94). One was sued by Rubens for breach of copyright, and certainly this is a copy (including the verse) of an engraving by Philips Galle of the same subject.

![Justice. [&] Meekness.](jpegs/46541.jpg)
Justice. [&] Meekness. From a Painting of Raphael in the Vatican Palace at Rome.
R. Strange [... ] Romæ delineavit. et Aqua forte fecit A.o 1761, atque A.o 1765. Ære incidit Londini.
[London: Robert Strange, 1790.]
Pair of engravings. Each 510 x 350mm (20 x 13¾"), with very large margins.
Two female allegorical figures: Justice, seated on steps, looking at the scales in her right hand, holding the neck of an ostrich with her left; and Meekness, sitting on a stool, wearing a veil decorated with pearls, one hand at her bare breast, a lamb curled under her foot. Raphael painted the figures of Justice and Meekness in the Sala di Constantino, using oil instead of the fresco of the other decorations in the room, painted by his pupils. They were sketched by Robert Strange in Florence in 1761, engraved by him in London 1768 and published in a collected edition of his engravings. According to a letter written by Strange to the 'Scots Magazine' in 1761: 'leave was solicited, and after much difficulty granted [with the help of Cardinal Carlo Rezzonico, nephew of Pope Clement XIII], that I should erect a scaffold in the Vatican, which, for several years past, has been absolutely prohibited. I began, in that place, with two figures; the one representing 'Justice', and the other 'Meekness', by Raphael; they are in the Hall of Constantine, and were the last things he painted before his death. These figures contain all that is excellent in painting...'.
