Francesco Primaticcio (1504-1570) after, by Theodoor van Thulden (1606-1669)) - The Murders of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra
Good impression on laid paper.
An 18th Century printing.
Plate 8: the murder of Agamemnon, set in a large dining room, with in the foreground Aegisthus cutting Agamemnon's throat, and nearby Clytemnestra about to kill Cassandra, beyond Agamemnon's soldiers being murdered by Clytemnestra and Aegisthus' men; after Primaticcio and Niccolò dell' Abbate. c.1633
From a series of fifty-eight plates representing the works of Ulysses, after the frescoes designed by Primaticcio and painted by Niccolò dell' Abate for the walls of the Gallery of Ulysses, in Fontainebleau (c.1555-1560). The preparatory drawings are now in the Albertina, Vienna. These drawings, the plates and some literary descriptions are the main sources of information we have on the Galerie d'Ulysse, which is now destroyed.
