AFTER RAPHAEL (RAFFAELLO SANZIO OR SANTI), GIULIO BONASONE, AFTER GIULIO ROMANO. Constantine defeating the tyrant Maxentius, angels carrying swords fly above

Constantine defeating the tyrant Maxentius, angels carrying swords fly above. Artist: After Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio or Santi) (Italian, Urbino 1483-1520 Rome); Giulio Bonasone (Italian, active Rome and Bologna, 1531-after 1576); After Giulio Romano (Italian, Rome 1499?-1546 Mantua). Dimensions: Sheet: 14 11/16 × 17 1/2 in. (37.3 × 44.5 cm). Date: 1544.
Inspired in part by Marcantonio's engraving and by the Roman sarcophagus (now in the Villa Medici, Rome) that was one of Raphael's sources for the design, Bonasone shows far less interest in sculptural form. His more lyrical version of the subject is composed of softly modeled figures and flowing surface patterns, such as the curvilinear lines that form the water.
