The Prophet Joel; from the series of Prophets and Sibyls in the Sistine Chapel
Giorgio Ghisi|Michelangelo Buonarroti|Pietro Facchetti
1570–75 · Engraving; third state of five · Drawings and Prints
As explained by Boorsch (in Boorsch, Lewis and Lewis 1985, p. 164) the dates of 1540 and 1549 engraved on some of the plates from the series is false. The plates should rather be dated to the early 1570s.
