Agostino Veneziano (Agostino dei Musi)

Agostino Veneziano, also known as Agostino dei Musi, was a Renaissance engraver whose burin work spread the formal language of Italian art across Europe. His prints range from dramatic narrative scenes such as The Massacre of the Innocents and Abraham's Sacrifice to the monumental figure study The Climbers, alongside devotional subjects like The Entombment of Christ. The archive gathers seventy engravings from this collection, with impressions up to 1533 documenting the reach of his plates well after his lifetime. Together they offer a compact survey of sixteenth-century Italian reproductive printmaking.
