ENGRAVINGS BY OR ATTRIBUTED TO BRAMANTE.
The print described as No. 1 is the only plate which has any
claim to be regarded as an original engraving by Bramante. The
reasons given at length in the note to this print, tend even in this
case to the conclusion that only the design and not the engraving is
by the architect. Nos. 2 and 2* have probably no immediate relation
even in their design to any work of Bramante, and seem to present
a mere medley of various styles of building to which the engraver
has given the name of the famous architect from whom he no doubt
borrowed certain features.
The print described by Passavant, V. 178, 3 (and attributed by
Zani to Bramante, Enciclopedia Metodica, II. vol. 3, p. 319) has no
connexion with Bramante beyond the fact that the building in the
background is adopted from his chapel in S. Pietro in Montorio at
Rome. It is placed in this catalogue with Miscellaneous engravings
(F. II. 17).
