Giovanni Antonio da Brescia
Giovanni Antonio da Brescia was an Italian Renaissance engraver who produced around 150 engravings, including those previously attributed to Zoan Andrea. He began his career under Andrea Mantegna in Mantua before settling in Rome and had an influence on Marcantonio Raimondi. His engravings mainly feature figures and use the burin and drypoint techniques. Giovanni Antonio's last known works were translations of painted works around 1519-1520, and some estimate his last production to be in 1525.
