Joseph HEINTZ (Basel 1564 - Prague 1609) Ancient Sacrifice, after Polidoro de Caravaggio Pen and brown ink, brown wash. 24 x 38 cm Signed and dated upper right Joseph Heintz. Nahr Polidor / in casa Del Buffol ? / in Roma. Ano 1584 From a fresco by Polidoro de Caravaggio on the façade of the Casino del Bufalo in Rome. The fresco, badly damaged, is now in the Museo di Roma (see P. Leone de Castris, Polidoro da Caravaggio, Naples, 2001, reproduced fig. 171). Two other copies drawn by Heintz after painted facades by Polidoro are known, one in the Metropolitan Museum in New York (1995.297), the other in the Albertina in Vienna (inv. 3325). Both of these drawings, dated 1585, bear inscriptions in Heintz's hand very similar to the one visible on the present sheet.
