- Between 1672 and 1674 Guercino's nephew Cesare Gennari sent fourteen landscape drawings from Bologna to his brother Benedetto, who was then in Paris, in order for them be engraved by Jean Pesne. Once the fourteen copper-plate had been completed, they were sent to Bologna for Cesare to provide the serie with a frontispiece (1858,1112.128); see: Mahon, Catalogo dei disegni, 1968, p. 179; Bagni, Il Guercino e il suo falsario, 1985, pp. 58-59; Turner, Plazzotta, Drawings by Guercino from British Collection, 1991, p. 193.
The original drawings is now in Chatsworth, inv. no. 528; see: Bagni, Il Guercino e il suo falsario, 1985, no. 134-135.
