Sacra Famiglia sotto l'albero

Etching, unsigned.

From a work by Annibale Carracci. Second final state, published by Venanzio Monaldini.

From the series Pensieri Diversi Lineati et intagliati by Annibale Carracci, published by Venanzio Monaldini in Rome.

Monaldini, like other publishers of the time, republished some of Bellavia’s plates after his death. At the beginning of the 18th century, passing them off as having been engraved by Carracci.

Monaldini added the letters “A.C. IN.” to all the republished plates.

In excellent condition.
