Nicolò Boldrini

Nicolò Boldrini was a Renaissance printmaker whose woodcuts engage with the visual culture of sixteenth-century Venice and its circle, drawing on religious subjects, classical antiquity and pastoral landscape. His sheets range from devotional scenes such as Saint Jerome and the Holy Family to a caricature of the Laocoön group and a landscape with a milkmaid and boy. This collection gathers five of his woodcuts, four printed from the full block and one surviving as a key block only, in impressions up to 1566.
