Details — Click to read

A very fine impression of this rare print, on laid paper bearing an indistinct ‘Circle’ watermark, laid down onto an 18th century album sheet. An un-inked vertical printer’s crease at upper centre, generally in excellent condition.

The monumental composition recalls Raphael’s Stanze in the Vatican. The scene unfolds in the Old St. Peter’s Basilica, as the Constantinian ‘Pergula’ attests.
