Charles Thurston Thompson (1816-68)
The Pieta c.1860-76
-
A photograph of a drawing depicting The Pietá attributed to the school of Raphael now in the Royal Library, Windsor (RCIN 912747).
This drawing served as a modello for an engraving by Giulio Bonasone, which shows some differences with the drawing: the pillow supporting Christ's head, the background and the rock at the right are not depicted in the drawing. See RCIN 850462 for the print. Popham and Wilde (see Bibliographic References) believe this drawing to have been executed at the same time as the late drawings for the Vatican Logge, which were frescoed by Raphael's workshop c. 1517-9.Provenance
Acquired for the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1860-76)
