The Prophet Malachi, from "Prophets and Sibyls" Anonymous Circle of Francesco Rosselli Italian 1480-90 This print is part of a series comprised of twenty-four Prophets and twelve Sibyls, modeled after the series of the same subject by Baccio Baldini (TIB 2403.052-.089). Rosselli's engravings are executed in the Broad Manner and Italianate in style, whereas Baldini's are in the Fine Manner and mostly Germanic in style. Rosselli's prints vary from faithful ciopies of Baldini's prints to loose adapations. This print is closely related to Baccio Baldini's Prophet Malachi (TIB 2403.073) with the exception of the crown, rather than the hood, that Malachi wears.
