Note:

Pietro Antonio Pazzi : An eighteenth century Italian engraver, Pietro Antonio Pazzi studied art under G. Pramontini and C. Mogalli. During his career, Pazzi was mainly employed in Rome and Florence, engraving portraits for the 'Museo Fiorentino', 'Museo Etrusco de Mori' and the'Museo Capitalino'. Pietro Pazzi also created plates for the 'Gallerie de Florence'.

The Museum Florentium: A. F. Gori’s monumental Museum Florentium set out to engrave all the portraits of painters, architects, sculptors and patrons of the arts in the major galleries of Florence. This vast undertaking was issued in individual parts as it took over thirty years (1731-1766) to complete. The bulk of the engraving fell to four of Florence’s best artists, Giovanni Domenico Campiglia, Pietro Pazzi, Cosimo Mogalli and Lorenzini.

With its high level of artistry the Museum Florentium is now regarded as one of the greatest series of portrait engravings published in the eighteenth century. It also stands as a fascinating visual record of artist related portraits with a general emphasis upon the Renaissance era to the mid eighteenth century. Lucas Cranach is a fine, original example of portrait art created for the Museum Florentium.
