See the note under no. 370. A copy of Perino's design.
[Note from under no. 370:
There are other versions of this design, some by Perino himself, other by pupils or copyists. The most important is a painting on canvas in the Palazzo Spada, Rome, which was show by Voss to be Perino’s Model for a tapestry commissioned by Paul III as a basamento for Michelangelo’s Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel. See Voss, Spätrenaissance, pp. 72-4, where the Spada Palace painting and a drawing connected with it in the Uffizi are reproduced. Our drawing is close to Perino in handling, possibly by him. Another version of the same design, not so like Perino, is no. 371.] |
