- Lot Description
Two joined sheets of laid paper with chain-lines evident when backlit. Signed in the plate. 15 1/4 x 17 1/2 in.
Note: This 18th Century engraving (the signature of which is in part illegible) incorporates in a trompe l oeil effect the: "Tablet with Calendar" from the Farnese Palace and from the famed engraving depicting in from the "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae."
The artist, in this engraving, references "Pg. 24,” and this is likely a reference to the original corpus or bound volume used by Antonio Lafreri (Italian, 1512-1577) to show the works encompassing the "Romanae Magnificentiae."
Curiously, the artist who created, "Tablet with Calendar,"(See, Metropolitan Museum ascension number: 41.72 for another example) is listed as "Anonymous". However, in this old master engraving, the artist uses the Latin "fecit" (meaning 'after') at the end of his signature and after the name of another (illegible) artist, possibly indicating this artist knew the identity of the "Anonymous" engraver of the "Tablet with Calendar," and whose work he acknowledges using in part in the composition for the instant engraving.Tape remnants verso from prior framing.
