BEATRIZET, Nicolas (b. 1507, Thionville, d. 1565, Roma) |
The Archers-Engraving, 242 x 354 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna | |
Michelangelo's drawing of Archers Shooting at a Herm enjoyed great popularity, which is evidenced by numerous copies. Individual artists made small changes to the original, which is the case for Beatrizet's engraving in mirror image. This engraving served as a model for a fresco in the Villa Borghese, Rome. |
