CATALOGUE NOTE
The present study is very typical of Canuti's graphic style. Although the artist frescoed a celebrated ceiling decoration of the Apotheosis of Hercules between 1669 and 1671 in Palazzo Pepoli, this study does not seem preparatory for that project, unless Canuti radically transformed his ideas for the composition as he worked towards the final fresco (see Simonetta Stagni, Domenico Maria Canuti, Rimini 1988, pp. 165-66, cat. no. 28 and pls. VII, X, XI, XII).
