## Commentary

The Triumph of Galatea c. 1520 Burin engraving, 396 x 288 mm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence This engraving was made after the famous fresco painted by Raphael in 1512 in the suburban villa of Agostino Chigi. The fresco was the subject of many graphic interpretations, and indeed the prints were promoted by the master himself as an effective means of distributing his works. The same subject also features in another famous engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, considered by Vasari to be one of his most successful works.
