[Apollo, Pan, and a Putto Blowing a Horn] (engraving (print); Giorgio Ghisi (Italian, 1520-1582), after Primaticcio, Franc...; 1560s)

Note: The print was engraved by Ghisi prior to his return to Italy in 1569. The date of the printing of the engraving by Lafreri, who died in 1577, is not known (cf. Boorsch). Title from Boorsch. The subject of this print comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, the musical competition between Pan and Apollo. The engraving is after a lost painting by Primaticcio in the vault of the fourth bay of the Galerie d'Ulysse at Fontainebleau. It is one of four prints based on compositions surrounding a central image of Venus and the three fates. This print is the 5th state of 5. Antonio Lafreri acquired the plate at some point in the 16th century and republished the print. His name appears in the 4th state, but then disappears in the 5th, though sometimes it's just visible. The plate survives in the Calcografia Nazionale, Rome.
