The adoration of the Magi, after Ludovico Carracci, etching, a good impression of the lettered state on laid paper with watermark of a quadruped, possibly a dog, sheet 228 x 180 mm. (8 7/8 x 7 1/8 in), trimmed just within platemark with thread margin around image, inset at edges onto paper support, small repaired tear in the lower right quadrant, small pin hole in the lower left, minor surface dirt, unframed, [circa 1590-1620]; together with three etchings by Giulio Bonasone (ca. 1531-1576), including The Adoration of the Shepherds, [B. 39; Massari 167], St Paul Preaching, after Perino del Vaga, [B. 72; Massari 103], and Father Time, after Giulio Romano, [B. 172; Massari 224], etchings, various sizes, all unframed, [circa 1545-1565] (4). Literature: (Brizio) Bartsch (under Annibale Carracci 1; TIB (Brizio) 1 ⁂ Scarce. The etching attributed to Brizio is after the fresco by Ludovico Carracci in the Gessi chapel of S.M. della Pioggia in Bologna, which was destroyed in World War II. The present impression bears the added lettering falsely attributing the etching to Annibale Carracci and the work has also previously been attributed to Carlo Marrati, yet The Illustrated Bartsch retains the attribution to Brizio.
