Jacopo Francia
Jacopo Francia belongs to the Italian printmaking tradition of ornamental and architectural subjects, working above all in etching and engraving. The archive holds a single sheet by this hand: an ornamental foliage study drawn from Roman churches and issued within the "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae," present here in the second state of two as described by Hind. The impression represents the kind of reproductive print that circulated decorative motifs from church interiors to a wider European audience.
