Giorgio Vasari records that Antonio came from Trento. He was Parmigianino's principal collaborator, from whom he learned the technique of chiaroscuro woodcut while working in his Bolognese workshop as a printmaker and painter. Contrary to Vasari's statements, some scholars have proposed that ugo da Carpi instructed Antonio in the chiaroscuro technique in Rome. Antonio's identity was once erroneous conflated with an etcher ad painter from bologna, Antonio Fantuzzi, known to have worked at Fontainebleau in the 1530s-40s. * Parmigianino (Italian, 1503–1540) - artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino (1503-1540), was an Italian Mannerist painter, draftsman, and printmaker. In Parma and upon his arrival in Rome in 1524, he experimented with print to study works by artists he admired, such as Raphael. He fled Rome at the time of its sack in 1527, and he moved to Bologna. There, he began his engagement with chiaroscuro woodcuts, collaborating with Ugo da Carpi and Antonio da Trento. Parmigianino then returned to Parma in 1530. --- measurements: state of the work: edition of the work: support materials: inscriptions: inscription: Lower left, monogrammed: A(ndrea) A(ndreani) in mantoua 1602 translation: remark: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: 40th Anniversary Exhibition of the Print Club of Cleveland opening date: 1959-12-03T05:00:00 40th Anniversary Exhibition of the Print Club of Cleveland.
