Wilton album, folio 24a: Saint James Major, from the larger series of Christ and the Apostles
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.
One of two versions of the subject; for the other version see B. XVI.58.53. For a second impression, taken from a damaged plate see 26.70.3(160)
