Wenceslas Hollar (b. 1607, Prague, d. 1677, London)
Pietro Aretino
Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
Engraving 20.5*13.4 cm
This 17th century engraving was probably based on a drawing of Aretino by Giulio Romano (b. ca. 1499, Rome, d. 1546, Mantua).
Giulio drew the modelli for the engravings by MarcAntonio Raimondi illustrating Aretino's Sedici Modi (The Sixteen Postures).
Giulio's portrait shows the influence of Raphael's portrait of Baldassare Castiglione 1514 (Louvre).
