The Disciples at the Tomb
Jean Honoré Fragonard French
After Jacopo Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti) Italian
Not on view
This etching is from a group of sixteen made by Fragonard in Paris around 1763-64, based on black chalk drawings he had made in Italy a few years earlier for his friend and patron, the abbé de Saint-Non. Of the sixteen, ten were based on Venetian models. This plate, based on a black chalk drawing, excerpts four figures from a vast composition by Jacopo Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti) (Italian, 1519-1594), Saint Roch in Prison, Visited by an Angel, in the church of San Rocco, Venice.
