Description
Engraving, 1515-1530, unlettered. First state, of three, ante litteram, before Salamanca’ address.
Excellent impression, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed at margins, in excellent condition.

Attributed by Bartsch to Agostino, possibly after a design by Raphael.

Agostino de Musi detto VENEZIANO (Venezia 1490 ca. - Roma 1536/38)
|
Heir of the great tradition of the Raimondi’s, Agostino Musi, from the family de Masyus or dè Musis, also known as the Veneziano, derives his nick name from the city where he studied the “giorgionesco” style of Giulio Campagnola, di Jacopo dè Barbari and Dürer.
For a while, Agostino lived in Florence translating works from Andrea del Sarto. After that, he moved to Rome where he started working in the workshop of Bavero di Carrocci (aka Baviera) from 1516 till the Sack (Sacco) of the City.
After the Sack, he very likely went back to Florence and maybe Mantua, where he worked on Giulio Romano’s production. Between 1530 and 1531 Agostino went back to Rome and engraved the marvellous Vasi antichi e moderni, with the coats of arms of Clemente VII de Medici; in this work it can be seen his own, peculiar, ornamental style, which he used to realize splendid works for the first, great Roman publisher, Antonio Salamanca.
Bartsch ascribes to him 181 prints, dated between 1509 and 1536; Passavant then added other seven subjects (VI, pp. 49-68).
