Description
Engraving, 1535-40 circa, unlettered. After Giulio Romano
A very good impression, printed with tone on contemporary laid paper, trimmed close to the platemark, very good condition.
This etching reproduces a tapestry from a twelve-piece set of the Life of Christ, known as the Scuola Nuova to distinguish it from Raphael’s earlier Acts of the Apostles, which was called the Scuola Vecchia.
The tapestries appear to have been designed by Raphael’s erst-while assistans after the death of the master in April 1520. Today in Vatican Collection.
The set was woven by Pieter van Aelst in Bruxelles.
The design of the Presentation is attributed to Giulio Romano. This etching was formerly attributed to Georger Reverdy, but Leutrat rejected this attribution.
A very rare work.

Georges REVERDY (Attivo 1529 – 1557)
|
French painter and engraver. He is documented as in Lyon between 1529 and 1557. It is possible, however, that he went to Italy around 1530, making engravings of religious scenes—the Nativity, the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Sermon on the Mount, the Day of Judgement and mythological scenes, for example Vulcan’s Forge and Leda, as well as genre scenes such as Le Branle. These were signed with a Latinized version of his name, Reverdinus, or with the monogram GR. Herbet mistakenly catalogued his work under the name of Cesare Reverdino.
