c1700 Pietro Santi Bartoli Antique Engraving Joseph Before Pharaoh Raphael:
$125.00
This museum-tier item is a genuine, c. 1700 original antique copperplate etching and engraving by the renowned Italian master printmaker Pietro Santi Bartoli, executed after a classical Renaissance monochrome fresco design by Raphael for the Vatican Stanze. Titled along the margin in Latin \"Eductum de carcere Ioseph Pharaoni obtulerunt (Gen. Cap. 41)\", the scene beautifully captures the Old Testament biblical narrative of Joseph being presented before the Pharaoh after his release from prison. It features the authentic publishing line of the famous Roman printing house of Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi (Io. Iacobus de Rubeis formis Romae). Unlike modern reproductions or 1960s laminated cardboard sheets, this is a loose, raw antique print on period hand-laid paper [image_ayi4ph.png]. The item is safely housed and sealed inside a clear, closed archival collector package sleeve accompanied by a structural cardboard backing card, which perfectly preserves the print from handling wear. The back of the package features its original informational inventory provenance slip from the legendary, historic Pageant Book and Print Shop of 109 East 9th Street, New York City
