Little is known about his initial training. He began as a blockcutter. Around 1583, he started to copy early line woodcuts into new chiaroscuro versions. He also reproduced intarsia pavements, sculptures, and bronze reliefs with the same method. Andreani was active in Rome (ca. 1580), Florence (1583-86), and Siena (1586-1593), before returning permanently to his native city and setting up a workshop. He died in Manuta in 1629. Andreani's oeuvre includes large prints comprising several sheets, such as his copy of Triumph of Christ after Titian, and copies of drawings based on Mantegna's cartoons for the Triumph of Caesar. Between 1602 and 1610, Andreani reprinted and recut earlier chiaroscuro woodblocks by Ugo da Carpi, Antonio da Trento and Niccolò Vicentino, bringing them to new levels of technical and visual refinement. * Andrea Mantegna (Italian, 1431–1506) - artist --- measurements: Sheet: 37.6 x 37.3 cm (14 13/16 x 14 11/16 in.) state of the work: edition of the work: support materials: inscriptions: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: Against the Grain: Woodcuts from the Collection opening date: 2003-08-17T00:00:00 Against the Grain: Woodcuts from the Collection.
