Marcantonio (1470- 1534)

Marcantonio Raimondi,

Engraver; born in Argini (?). Pupil of Francesco Francia in Bologna. In Venice between c.1506-08, where he began engraving copies after Dürer, for which Dürer famously bought legal proceedings against him in 1506. Briefly visited Florence, then moved to Rome in c.1510-11, where he began his collaboration with Raphael. His earliest engraving after Raphael is probably 'Dido' of c.1510; it is from this date on that Raimondi primarily engraved the designs of Raphael and his circle. Crucially developed a systematic graphic vocabulary which could be easily taught. Founded a school of engravers including Marco Dente, Agostino dei Musi and Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio.

He was involved in the painting of the Stanza dell'Incendio, the Psyche loggia in the Farnesina (1518), the 'Holy Family of Francis I' and the 'Logge' (finished 1519). Between 1520 and 1524 he painted 'inter alia' the Sala di Costantino, and the Monteluce 'Coronation' [Vatican Pinacoteca), both in collaboration with G. F. Penni; and the 'Stoning of S. Stephen' (S. Stefano, Genoa) and the high altarpiece of S. Maria dell'Anima, Rome. From Oct. 1524 he was court artist at Mantua.
