Description
Engraving, 1540 circa, signed lower right with monogram: 'GR. F.' and inscribed lower centre: 'A. FONTA. BLEO. BOL.'
Fine impression, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the platemark.
Reproduces Francesco Primaticcio's fresco executed in 1541-45 in the vault of the vestibule of the Porte Dorée at Fontainebleau, today seriously damaged.
Primaticcio's preparatory drawing in the same direction, squared for transfer and almost identical in details and size to the engraving, today in the Louvre, inv. no. 8567, is strongly influenced by Giulio Romano's and Rosso Fiorentino's style, see Paris 2004, no. 52.
For the different suggestions for the identification of Master FG, as well as for his other prints, see Aldovini in Paris 2004, no. 53.

Fagiuoli was active in Bologna during the middle third of the sixteenth century. Vasari mentions him briefly. He is known to have made engravings after artists including Perino del Vaga and Francesco Salviati and, according to Suzanne Boorsch, at least some of the prints recently attributed to Nicholas Beatrizet (fl. c. 1540-?73) are actually the work of "another engraver, the little-known Girolamo Fagiuoli."
