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, possibly the third, in which the hair of the apostle has been substantially reworked and considerable shading added to his robes. For another impression of this state, with its four corners cut, see 26.70.3(162). An impression of the first state is in the British Museum (W,1.177; reproduced in The Illustrated Bartsch)
