The Massacre of the Innocents

engraving on paper mounted to support sheet, ca. 1511-12, after Raphael. 11 x 17" 

This version is without the pine tree (chicot) at the right.  Patricia Emison in Print Quarterly I, 1984, pp. 257-67, for the controversy over the priority of the two versions of this engraving.  Her argument that the version without the fir tree is Marcantonio;s original is widely accepted.  She also suggests that the version the fir tree is a copy by Agostino Veneziano; this is less certain.
