This pair of engravings is made in the red chalk style, using red chalk. They represent the preparatory work for the Atlanteans of the Farnese Gallery in Rome, according to Carracci. There we find the following mentions: "Francus Collignon formis Romae Parione, Cum Privileg. S. Pontifacis" and "C. Cesi fecit", as well as page numbers 29 and 30.
François Collignon (1609-1687) worked and distributed his works for many years in Rome as an engraver and print dealer. The engraver of these pieces is Carlo Cesio (1626-1686).
The ceiling frescoes of the Farnese Gallery in Rome were created by Annibale Carracci between 1597 and 1607, with the help of his brothers and students. This prestigious commission from Cardinal Farnese is a masterpiece of ceiling painting, inspired by mythological scenes, stories told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, and allegorical content.
The engravings have some foxing and stains.
The dimensions of each engraving are 67 x 49 cm (with frame) and 49.5 x 31.5 cm (without frame).
