Note du spécialiste

This very rare etching reproduces the fresco by Rosso Fiorentino for the Galerie François I in the Palace of Fontainebleau. Another, slightly different version had been etched earlier by Antonio Fantuzzi (see Jenkins and Zerner AF26).

To our knowledge no other impression of this print has been offered at auction within the last thirty years.
