This watercolor is a careful copy of Raphael’s fresco. It shows Heliodorus being forced out of the Temple by divine figures. The scene comes straight from Raphael’s 1512–14 painting. Mariannecci made this in 1866 for the Arundel Society. It was one of eight copies he did that year. The watercolor never became a printed image like the others. It now lives at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
