Anton Maria Zanetti the Elder
Anton Maria Zanetti the Elder belongs to the Venetian tradition of chiaroscuro woodcut, a technique he used to reproduce and reinterpret compositions in layered tones. His subjects drew on classical and biblical narrative, as in The Israelites Passing the Red Sea from the Diversarum Iconum series. The archive holds a single sheet by him, printed from four blocks in yellow-green ink, with impressions dated to 1740.
