Italian engraver
Triumphus Caesari , by Andreani, after a painting by Mantegna
Andrea Andreani (1540–1623) was an Italian
engraver on wood, who was among the first printmakers in Italy to use
chiaroscuro , which required multiple colours.
Andreani was born and generally active in
Mantua about 1540 (
Brulliot says 1560) and died at
Rome in 1623. His engravings are scarce and valuable, and are chiefly copies of
Mantegna ,
Albrecht Dürer ,
Parmigianino and
Titian . The most remarkable of his works are Mercury and Ignorance , the Deluge , Pharaoh's Host Drowned in the Red Sea (after Titian), the
Triumph of Caesar (after Mantegna), and Christ retiring from the judgment-seat of Pilate after a relief by Giambologna.
[1] He was active 1584–1610 in Florence.

Metropolitan Museum of Art ,

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston ,
