Giulio Sanuto
Giulio Sanuto belongs to the tradition of sixteenth-century Italian engraving, working the burin to render mythological subjects with firm, linear clarity. The archive holds a single sheet by his hand, an engraving known as Tantalus, preserved in its second state from two. Its date falls within 1557, the year given by the Met for the sheets, which may include impressions printed later. Together these details place a compact but telling example of Renaissance printmaking before the viewer.
