After Marcantonio Raimondi, Engraving Caryatids with Censer, 1890s, Paper

About This Piece

Engraving “Caryatids with censer” after Marcantonio Raimondi, ff. s. XIX

Exceptional engraving depicting two caryatids who turn their backs to each other and help support a large censer. The women hold hands while with the other they support the weight of the domed structure. Dressed in the Greek manner and with the usual contrapposto, they present a serene expression. On the dome of the censer, fleurs-de-lis appear in the network of rhombuses and salamanders. The salamander was the symbol of Francis I of France, for whom the design was made. On the pedestal, rams' heads on the sides.

Marcantonio Raimondi (1480 - 1534)
Marcantonio Raimondi was an Italian engraver, known for being the first important one whose work consisted mainly of engravings that copied paintings or drawings (in this case, a drawing by the Italian Rafael Sanzio). Therefore, he is a key figure in the rise of the reproductive footprint. He also systematized an engraving technique that became dominant in Italy and elsewhere.
