About Antonio Tempesta

1555–1630

Antonio Tempesta (1555–1630) was an Italian painter and printmaker whose prolific output of etchings and engravings established him as a crucial bridge between late Mannerism and the early Baroque, connecting the artistic cultures of Florence, Rome, and Antwerp. Born in Florence and trained at the prestigious Florentine Accademia del Disegno, he became one of the most influential printmakers of his era.
