- The first of a set of the 12 Apostles (1928,0313.86 to 97), all standing full-length, taken from Lanfranco's frescoes in the Carthusian monastery of S. Martino in Naples. The apostles are part of a much larger fresco cycle, and flank each of the three windows on either side of the nave. The frescoes were painted in 1637-8, and this series of engravings was made in 1680. The BM has the complete set of prints in uniform impressions on full sheets with the original stitched holes in the top margin.
