Printmaking in woodcut and engraving came to Northern Italy within a few decades of their invention north of the Alps. Engraving probably came first to Florence in the 1440s, the goldsmith Maso Finiguerra (1426–64) used the technique. Italian engraving caught the very early Renaissance, 1460–1490. Print copying was a widely accepted practice, as well as copying of paintings viewed as images in their own right.

Baccio Bandinelli was an Italian sculptor and artist who lived during the Renaissance. Born in Florence in 1493, he was the son of a prominent goldsmith. Bandinelli began his artistic training with his father, but later studied with the famous sculptor Jacopo Sansovino. Bandinelli is best known for his large-scale sculptures, often depicting mythological or historical figures. His most famous work is the statue of Hercules and Cacus, commissioned by Pope Clement VII for the Piazza della Signoria in Florence. The statue, which depicts Hercules fighting the monster Cacus, is considered one of the greatest works of Renaissance sculpture. In addition to sculpture, Bandinelli was also an accomplished painter and architect. He worked on several important architectural projects in Florence, including the Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni and the Palazzo Borgherini-Rosselli del Turco. Despite his success as an artist, Bandinelli was known for his difficult personality and often clashed with other artists and patrons. He died in Florence in 1560 at the age of 67.
