Italian engraver. He was active in Venice and, at some time in the later 1540s or early 1550s, in Rome. His first dated print is from 1540. From 1557 he engraved engraved maps in Venice which were published by Giordano Ziletti and others.
This engraving was produced after Raphael’s Madonna della Perla in the Museo del Prado, Madrid.
This engraving was made by Giulio Sanuto after Baccio Bandinelli’ design and Marcantonio Raimondi’s engraving.
This engraving was executed after a painting by Titian. It shows Venus and Adonis embracing. Adonis holds an arrow in his right hand, at the right appear three dogs.
The painting by Titian was initially painted as one of a series of eight mythological subjects for King Philip II of Spain. There are more than thirty painted and engraved versions of this painting, some of which were painted by Titian himself, while others were produced by members of his workshop, and still others were the work of later copyists.
