Giovanni Battista d’Angolo
known as Battista del Moro, c. 1514 Verona – c. 1573 Venice
Giovanni Battista d'Angolo, pupil and son-in-law of the painter Francesco Torbido, was the leader of a group of Veronese artists responsible for promoting the etching technique during the mid-16th century in northern Italy, especially in the Veneto region. His printed work is stylistically very varied and multifarious, which makes an exact classification of his œuvre very difficult. Nevertheless a certain chronology may be derived from the fact that the early prints are generally executed in a schematic, at times somewhat dry engraving technique, whereas in the mature work the artist turned mainly to etching.
