Italy has been the cradle for the artistic schools from the 15th, 16th and 17th century. The success of the renaissance art was spread over Europe by a group of top engravers that made some of the finest graphical works of all times. These prints are wanted on the art market and rare to find. With my online catalogue I'm glad to offer a larger selection of some of the finest artists from the period.
Below you see a short biography of the artist and one work.
