Caraglio Marriage of the Virgin   

The Marriage of the Virgin (1525)

by:   Caraglio      category: Print   

note:  This engraving reproduces a highly finished drawing by Parmigianino that is now in the collection of Chatsworth House in Bakewell, England. Caraglio has followed the model with a staggering level of accuracy. When compared to his earlier engraving of The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, Flanked by Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian, we see clearly the ways in which Caraglio altered his style of engraving to capture the dynamic character of Parmigianino’s draftsmanship. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/412491
