Mario Cartaro
Italian, born Viterbo, active Rome ca. 1557–88, died 1620
Mario Cartaro, an Italian engraver from Viterbo who was active in Rome during the later sixteenth century, worked chiefly in the reproductive and devotional print trade of his day. His engravings translate religious subjects into crisp linear compositions, and The Entombment stands as a characteristic example of that approach. The archive holds a single sheet by his hand, engraved and dated 1567, representing his brief but concentrated presence in the collection.
