Marcantonio Raimondi

Italian, Argini (?) ca. 1480–before 1534 Bologna (?)

Marcantonio Raimondi was an Italian engraver of the Renaissance, celebrated for his reproductive prints after Albrecht Dürer and for his role in spreading Italian design through the burin. His subjects range from biblical narrative and the lives of the saints to Adam and Eve, rendered with the precise linear control typical of engraving. This archive gathers 133 of his sheets, the vast majority engravings and many recorded in multiple states, with impressions up to 1550, a span that includes later printings beyond the artist's lifetime.
