About this sheet

Antique print titled 'S. Nilus a D.N.I.C. Crucifixo ipsi apparente benedictur, et ab impuris tenta tionibus prorsus liberatur'. Scarce plate showing Saint Nilus, kneeling in prayer; in front of him a crucifix; Christ comes alive. This print originates from 'Picturae Dominici Zampierii, vulgo Domenichino, quae extant in sacello sacrae aedi Cryptoferratensi adjuncto tabulis aeneis incisae' published 1762.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'F. Bartolozzi' after 'Domenico Zampieri'. Francesco Bartolozzi (Florence, 21 September 1727 – 7 March 1815, Lisbon) was an Italian engraver, whose most productive period was spent in London. Domenico Zampieri, known as Domenichino for his shortness (October 21, 1581 – April 6, 1641), was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese or Carracci School of painters.
