Description
Stipple engraving after painting formerly attributed to Domenichino once in the Gallery at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, England. Now in the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, attributed to Giovanni Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato. Print removed from George P. Marsh’s copy of The Houghton Gallery, vol. 2. SI Secretary's Library stamp embossed in lower left margin. Pencil note on mounting sheet indicates the print was taken out for framing in 1894.
The painting was engraved twice for the Houghton Gallery publication. The first print, a mezzotint delineated by George Farington and engraved by Valentine Green, was published in 1777. The plate must have worn quickly, as a second print was engraved in stipple by Louis Sailliar and published in 1782 for inclusion in later sets.
