Raffaello Schiaminossi
Raffaello Schiaminossi is an Italian etcher whose surviving prints are associated with the late Renaissance and early Baroque world of the Sibyls, the legendary prophetesses of classical antiquity. His preferred medium was etching, a technique he used to render these figures with crisp, linear detail. The archive holds a single sheet by him, dated 1609 and titled "Plate 9: The Phrygian Sibyl holding the top of a tablet with her left hand and pointing with her right," from the series "Sibyls." That lone etching gives a compact view of his work as a printmaker in the opening decade of the seventeenth century.
