Domenico Campagnola

Domenico Campagnola belongs to the Italian Renaissance printmaking tradition, working above all in engraving and turning to landscapes crowded with figures as well as religious subjects. The archive holds two of his engravings, both dated by the Met to 1517–1518, with impressions up to that period. Battle scenes of naked men on horseback and on foot in wooded terrain stand alongside a Pentecost composition in which the Holy Spirit descends as a bird above the gesturing Apostles.
