Ercole Bazicaluva

ca. 1600 Pisa – after 1638 active in Florence

The etcher Ercole Bazicaluva, also called Fiorentino, was taught by Giulio Parigi in Florence and was a fellow student of Jacques Callot, by whom he was greatly influenced. He produced a small body of etchings, typical of which are an unpolished, down-to-earth technique and a pronounced decorative effect.
