(CHIAROSCURO) ANONOMYOUS. LA VIERGE ACCOMPAGNEE DE QUELQUES SAINTS, after Francesco Mazzuoli (Parmigianino). N.P.: n.d. Broadsheet. (11.7 x 8.31 inches). [Bartsch 64.24.I]. Images of the virgin Mary were very popular for artists of the period. There are two other interpretations of this version by Parmigianino, one by Alexand Ghandini and the other by Niccolo Vicentino, that are recorded by Bartsch. O the three, this is more representative of a Renaissance drawing with a simple and more delicate line block using parallel lines and cross--hatching to prod the shadow effects. The print was made from two blocks using a fairly evenly inked tan for tone. The plate has been damaged with two small areas filled i Despite this serious defect, the print itself is of considerable charm and merit.
