The Lovers, 1527-1530, Etching; second state of two, 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 in. ( x cm), Prints, Parmigianino (Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola) (Italian, Parma 1503–1540 Casalmaggiore), Following the example of Raphael, Parmigianino had a great interest in using prints to disseminated knowledge of his designs. In Rome, he produced drawings for Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio (Italian, ca. 1500/1505–1565) to translate into engravings, while in Bologna he may have drawn directly on the woodblocks carved by Antonio da Trento (Italian, active 1520s–30s) to produce chiaroscuro woodcuts
