Description
Etching and engraving, 1612, signed and dated in the plate at the bottom.
After Luca Cambiaso. Magnificent proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the copperplate, in excellent condition.
Raffaello Schiaminossi is part of the large group of native artists of the small village of St. Seplocro. Member of the Guild of Florentine painters from 1596, he devoted himself with success incision, translating and interpreting printed design by Ventura Salimbeni, Federico Barocci, Paolo Veronese and precisely Luca Cambiaso. Its art of engraving is quite special and innovative, characterized by strong use of chiaroscuro, realized through the use of a dense series of crossed lines, alternating with areas carved gently.
One of the best works of the artist.

Sources of his many and varied prints can be found in the work of Ventura Salimbeni, in some of Raphael’s drawings, mediated through Marcantonio Raimondi and his disciples, and in Federico Barocci, Bernardo Castello and Luca Cambiaso. There is also a northern European element in Schiaminossi’s six engravings after Lucas van Leyden, confirming the artistic interchanges between Italy and the Netherlands c. 1605. However, Schiaminossi was not merely a reproducer but also a creative artist. His original work can be seen in the 43 prints engraved for Il simulacro dell’arte e dell’uso della scherma (Siena, 1609) by Ridolfo Capoferro da Cagli ( fl 1609–30).
