Summary
The tombs of Giuliano and Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence – created by Michelangelo – rank among the most famous sculptural ensembles of the Italian Renaissance. Drawn or modelled copies of the tombs were frequently made by other artists. Among Van der Schardt’s nine modelli are studies of Lorenzo’s right hand, and of the left and right arm of the recumbent figure at the left, Night. The figure at the right personifies Day.
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.
