Veneziano, Agostino The Procession of the Drunken Silenus. Copperplate engraving after Raphael or Giulio Romano. 18.6 x 26.1 cm. Circa 1520/25. B. XIV, pp. 192, 240, Shoemaker 70. Bartsch ranks this copperplate engraving among the finest sheets etched by Agostino Veneziano. In front of the inscription by Antonio Salamanca. A brilliant, rich, and velvety-looking print, with only slight loss in the upper left corner; mostly with a very fine white border around the mounting line; the plate edge is partially visible on the right. Slightly stained, tiny marginal glazes and small tears in the white border at the bottom and bottom right, some of which are frayed; a thin spot on the left margin; a closed marginal tear at the bottom extending to the putti sitting on the stone; otherwise a very beautiful specimen with impressive print quality. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
