Authentic Original ETCHING of an original study by RAFFAELLE
in the University Galleries, Oxford. Published by Bell and Daldy, 186 Fleet Street, London, 1866- Etching by JOSEPH FISHER.
STUDY FOR THE INFANT SAVIOUR
This etching is bright and unfaded, in sepia ink, with excellent soft intaglio ink lines and detail, the image measuring approx. 3-3/8" x 5" within a defined & evident platemark and impression on a medium wove paper sheet size of approx. 10” x 7”. Unmounted and unframed, the condition of the image is excellent and the sheet is very good with some foxing from age. See scans/photos for condition.
Joseph Fisher (1795-1890) was an engraver, etcher, intaglio-printer, & print-publisher, who worked in Oxford. Published by Bell and Daldy, 186 Fleet Street, London, 1866.
Raphael was one of the finest draftsmen in the history of Western art, and used drawings extensively to plan his compositions. In later works painted by the workshop, the drawings are often painfully more attractive than the paintings. Most Raphael drawings are rather precise—even initial sketches with naked outline figures are carefully drawn, and later working drawings often have a high degree of finish.
