AFTER PARMIGIANINO (GIROLAMO FRANCESCO MARIA MAZZOLA), GIOVANNI JACOPO CARAGLIO. The Marriage of the Virgin

The Marriage of the Virgin. Artist: After Parmigianino (Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola) (Italian, Parma 1503-1540 Casalmaggiore); Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio (Italian, Parma or Verona ca. 1500/1505-1565 Krakow (?)). Dimensions: Sheet: 17 15/16 × 9 1/16 in. (45.5 × 23 cm). Date: ca. 1525.
Early in his career Caraglio seems to have met Parmigianino, an artist who was extremely interested in printmaking himself. The Marriage of the Virgin reproduces a highly finished drawing by Parmigianino that is now in the collection of Chatsworth House in Bakewell, England. Caraglio has followed the model with a staggering level of accuracy. When compared to his earlier engraving of The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, Flanked by Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian, we see clearly the ways in which Caraglio altered his style of engraving to capture the dynamic character of Parmigianino's draftsmanship.
