Giuseppe Longhi
Giuseppe Longhi belongs to the tradition of Italian reproductive engraving, working in the burin technique to translate painted compositions into finely modeled prints. His subjects centre on religious imagery, and the present example sets the Virgin and Child with the infant Saint John the Baptist within a landscape framed by a tondo, after the model known as La Madonna del Lago. The archive holds a single sheet by Longhi, executed in engraving, with impressions dating to 1825.
