Andrea Andreani (1540–1623) was an Italian engraver on wood, who was among the first printmakers in Italy to use chiaroscuro, which required multiple colours. Born and generally active in Mantua about 1540 (Brulliot says 1560) and died at Rome in 1623. His engravings are scarce and valuable, and are chiefly copies of Mantegna, Albrecht Dürer, Parmigianino and Titian. The most remarkable of his works are ''Mercury and Ignorance'', the ''Deluge'', ''Pharaoh's Host Drowned in the Red Sea'' (after Titian), the ''Triumph of Caesar'' (after Mantegna), and ''Christ retiring from the judgment-seat of Pilate'' after a relief by Giambologna. He was active 1584–1610 in Florence.〔ULAN〕 ==References== *"Andrea Andreani" in the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 9th Edition, Vol. II, p. 20. * * *( Getty ULAN entry ). *( artnet ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrea Andreani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
