Giulio Campagnola
Giulio Campagnola belongs to the circle of Italian Renaissance printmakers whose engravings translated the period's pictorial language into the linear medium of the burin. His surviving prints centre on religious narrative set within open landscape, and the present sheet, showing Christ addressing the Woman of Samaria beside a well with a lagoon behind, follows that pattern. The archive holds a single example of his work, an engraving dated to 1510, including impressions up to that year. Together these few lines of evidence place him within the technical and iconographic conventions of early sixteenth-century Italian engraving.
