In the 1860s, Mariannecci spent years hunched over watercolors in Rome, squinting at Raphael’s frescoes until her brush matched their curves. She’d trace each saint’s face and fold of fabric so carefully that her copies still fool experts today. Tap into the Stanza della Segnatura to see her 1864 sheet of “Philosophy” up close—her faint pencil lines ghost Raphael’s confident strokes.
