Benoit FARJAT (Lyon 1646 - Rome 1720ca) "Coronation of Saint Catherine of Alexandria with San Giovannino, San Paolo and Maddalena" Original engraving in burin by a subject by Agostino Carracci. Beautiful copy in coeval edition on laid paper, complete with the imprint of the plate on three sides and trimmed on the lower one with the loss of two lines of letters containing Farjat's signature and the definition "incisor Lugdunensis", entirely applied to a thick canvas, framed and inserted in a simple contemporary oak frame. Given the strong handling, the sheet has many small defects which however do not affect its appreciation. Uncommon work, whose dating from 1672 has been proposed in relation to the artist's membership of the French Academy in Rome from this date. A specimen like ours is part of the collections of the Cabinet of Drawings and Prints of the Pinacoteca of the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo. Bibliography: LeBlanc "Manuel de l'Amateur d'Estampes" Paris 1856 vol.2 pag.219 n ° 15. Weigert "Inventaire du Fonds Francais XVIIme siècle" Paris 1961 volume IV page 141 n ° 4. http://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/stampe/autori/22001/ Measurements in mm: 620 x 480 the frame
