Giovanni da Udine (Giovanni dei Ricamatori)
Giovanni da Udine, also known as Giovanni dei Ricamatori, belongs to the Italian Renaissance and worked as a painter and designer of ornamental and figural compositions, with putti and playful mythological scenes among his recurring subjects. The archive holds two of his works, both woven in wool warps with wool and silk wefts, a technique that places them within the tradition of tapestry production. The sheets date to 1635, and the collection preserves impressions up to that year, including later printings. Among the titles are scenes from the Giochi di Putti, such as putti struggling with a monkey or dancing around a globe and palm.
