Ugo da Carpi (c. 1480-1532)
Envy driven out of the Temple by the Muses c.1515-25
-
A chiaroscuro woodcut after a (lost) design traditionally attributed to Baldassarre Peruzzi. Lettered on plate within image: BAL SEN [lower left] / PER VGO [lower right]. Second state.
The composition was also engraved by the Master of the Die, an impression of which can be found at RCIN 851857. For a discussion on the relationship between Ugo's chiaroscuro and the engraving by the Master of the Die, see Bibliographic References.
Bartsch and Ruland described the subject as Envy chased from the Temple by the Muses. Recent scholarship follows Vasari in indentifying the female figure driven out of the temple with Avarice (see Gnann in Oberhuber/Gnann 1999).Provenance
Added to the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
