Notes |
According to Muller, probably engraved and published by Carel Allard, Amsterdam. 'Roma Pertubata' was first published in 1706 with ten plates, in 1707 with 13, which are listed in Muller 3410 a and b, 1-13. For a list of these prints see the entry of BM 1871-12-9-4872. The image is based on one or more earlier satirical representations of a Pope's head entitled "Gorgoneum caput" (eg. one by Stimmer c.1571, Andresen 101; see F.Elsig & S.Sala, 'Enfer ou paradis, aux sources de la caricature', Geneva 2013, p.111, for further references). The Bull referred to is the anti-Jansenist "Vineam Domini"of 1705. |
