Wilton album, folio 22e: Saint James Minor; from the larger series of Christ and the Apostles
On folio 22 with 5 other prints: 27.78.1(103-106 and 108)
For more information on the Wilton album see entry for 27.78.1(1-428)
A print from the larger series of 13 plates by Schiavone depicting Christ and the Apostles singly (B. XVI.56.38-50), dated by Richardson to around 1550. Schiavone had earlier executed a similar series in smaller format that was heavily dependant on designs by Parmigianino (B. XVI.54.24-37; 27.78.1(42-57)). In this larger later series Schiavone no longer relies on Parmigianino models, though his style is still heavily influences by the Emilian master.
An impression of a later state, with two printed diagonal scratches on the saint's left arm and shoulder. Printed with very heavy plate tone. For a strong impression of the first state, see 26.70.3(166)
