- Description
- Engraving from original painting by Salvator Rosa once in the Gallery at Houghton, Now in State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg. Print removed from George P. Marsh’s copy of The Houghton Gallery, vol. 2. This is the larger of two engravings after Rosa's painting included in the Houghton Gallery set. Claiming that the print included in volume one was “too small for such a capital picture,” the publisher introduced another larger version for volume two, engraved by Simon Ravenet. It had first appeared in Boydell’s series, A Collection of Prints Engraved after the Most Capital Paintings in England, begun in 1769.
