Description: RAPHAEL 1483- 1520 'The Judgement of Paris' by Marcantonio Raimondi A RARE HUGE quality engraving from a copper plate with sharp lines and great detail, was printed in 1890.Printed on laid paper with fleur - de-is watermark The German Print Museum started to make new plates from their collection of Classical Art under the direction of Dr Friedrich Lippmann, Director of Kupferstickkabinets in Berlin and issue etchings, engravings etc. from these plates. This was huge task in gathering hundreds of copies and selecting the finest for reproduction. "A masterpiece of Renaissance printmaking, this work represents a high point in the collaboration between Raphael and Marcantonio. While Marcantonio sometimes worked from drawings created for other projects, in this case Raphael created the drawing for the sole purpose of having it engraved by Marcantonio. The engraver's controlled, systematic line, curving around the figures, gives them a great three-dimensional presence. The Judgment of Paris; he is sitting at left with Venus, Juno and Pallas Athena, a winged victory above; in the upper section the Sun in his chariot preceded by Castor and Pollux on horseback; at lower right two river gods and a naiad above whom Jupiter, an eagle, Ganymede, Diana and another Goddess."
