Francesco Zucchi

Francesco Zucchi is represented in this archive by a single engraving, a portrait of a woman with a lace collar and a necklace, possibly the wife of Rubens. The sheet belongs to the tradition of reproductive printmaking, in which painted portraits were translated into the linear language of the burin. Dating from the early eighteenth century, it reflects the period's appetite for circulating celebrated likenesses as prints. The collection's holdings from this artist consist of that one engraving, with impressions up to 1712.
