Giovanni Antonio da Brescia
Giovanni Antonio da Brescia belongs to the circle of Italian Renaissance printmakers whose burin engravings carried designs and figures across Europe in the decades around 1500. His surviving sheets centre on the human figure, from a weathered male head to clustered bodies poised in the sky. This archive holds two of his engravings, dated by the Met to the years between 1490 and 1510, with impressions up to that later limit. Both examples show the clean, linear cutting typical of his engraved work.
