| Master FP after Parmigianino The Centaur Nessus abducting Dejanira, with Hercules resisting ca. 1527-30 etching British Museum |
I became aware of the printmaker known as Master FP in connection with the etching above. It shows the Centaur Nessus making off with Dejanira and resisted by Hercules. Curators at the British Museum know that Master FP collaborated with Parmigianino on that etching and some of the others below during the three years from 1527 to 1530 when Parmigianino was in Bologna, having fled the Sack of Rome in 1527.

Below are pages from an album now at the Metropolitan Museum in New York - another example of the handicraft perpetrated in the 18th century by Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774). Inidividual engravings are pasted in, nine to a sheet. Multiple copies of the same image share pages with any other images thought by Mariette to be compatible. Pages below contain copies of several of the same etchings assigned at the British Museum to Master FP.
