Giovanni Battista Cavalieri
Giovanni Battista Cavalieri is represented here by an engraving on two joined sheets after Raphael, a manner of reproductive printmaking that carried celebrated compositions into wider circulation. The single sheet in this collection, The Battle of Constantine at the Milvian Bridge, belongs to the year 1569, though surviving impressions may date from later printings. Together they offer a compact glimpse of Cavalieri's work as an engraver of monumental subjects drawn from Renaissance painting.
