Raphael ( Also called Raffaello Sanzio, Raffaello Santi, Raffaello da Urbino or Rafael Sanzio da Urbino). "Appeared to Isaac, and said, Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land which I shall tell thee - Genesis 26" Religious engraving on thick wove paper by master engraver Bianchi after the designs in the Vatican. 1788. This is not a modern print. The strike is crisp and the lines are sharp. (Plate Size c. 7 5/8 x 9 3/8 inches). Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Notes: In the early 16th century many Italian artists learnt the lesson of the huge, and very rapid, international prestige that Albrecht Dürer had gained through his prints, and set out to emulate him. Raphael had no knowledge of printmaking himself, and was probably too busy to want to learn the techniques, but he was the most successful of the Italians in spreading his fame through prints, through his much debated relationship with the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi and his workshop. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
