Verkrachting van Lucretia, Agostino Veneziano, Italy
Summary
Lucretia, naakt in haar bed, probeert de aanvallende Sextus Tarquinius met zwaard van zich af te weren. Achterin komt een man de kamer binnen. Rechts in de voorgrond twee parende honden.
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.
