Nicolas Beatrizet

Nicolas Beatrizet worked as an engraver in the sixteenth-century print tradition, producing burin engravings that translated compositions by Raphael and other masters into reproducible form. His subjects here centre on Christ's descent into limbo and the Ascension, rendered with the linear clarity typical of Renaissance reproductive printmaking. The archive holds four of his engravings, dated 1541, including several states of the Christ in Limbo sheet alongside the Ascension of Christ.
