Domenico Campagnola
Domenico Campagnola (* around 1500 probably in Venice ; † December 10, 1564 in Padua ) was an Italian painter , draftsman and engraver and adopted son of the engraver Giulio Campagnola (* around 1482 in Padua; † between 1516 and 1518 in Venice).
Campagnola rivaled Titian in Padua in the frescoes of the Scuola del Santo, where both painted events from the life of Saint Anthony, and in the frescoes of the Scuola del Carmine there.
Campagnola shows himself to be a capable artist of the Venetian school. He is less important as a copper engraver, since his sheets are executed with little technical skill and are mostly mannered in composition and form. Of the 14 numbers we know of him, ten bear the year 1517 and one (outpouring of the Holy Spirit) 1518, which means that he only dealt with the burin for a short time. Three woodcuts after him also date from 1517. Various of his drawings, which are treated in Titian's manner and depict landscapes with figures, are engraved.
