Martino Rota

Martino Rota belongs to the engravers of the later sixteenth century, working above all with the burin and turning to religious narrative for his subjects. His prints follow scenes from the lives of the apostles and of Christ, among them the martyrdom of Saint Peter, the tribute money, and the rest on the flight into Egypt. This archive holds three of his engravings, all cut in the same technique, with impressions dating from 1560 to 1569 and including later printings up to that span.
