- PRINTS AND DRAWINGS OF MUSICAL INTEREST
Saint Cecilia
Chiaroscuro woodcut, 232 x 220 mm., Bartsch XII-85-37. A very good impression of this rare chiaroscuro on laid paper, trimmed just outside the oval borderline. The patroness of music here plays what appears to be a dulcimer, supported by angels. Exactitude of musical depiction is not what Parimigianino was known for, but the sheer verve of the figures and composition carries the day. The print occasionally turns up with its original rectangular printed area outside the oval, but most impressions are trimmed as here; a (theoretical) continuation of the borderline at the lower left is never seen.
