Bartolommeo Coriolano

Bartolommeo Coriolano

Bartolommeo Coriolano (1599-1676) was an Italian engraver of the Baroque period.

He was born in Bologna , the grandson of Cristoforo Coriolano. He was first instructed by his father, but afterwards became a pupil of Guido Reni, where he learned wood-engraving. He usually made use of two blocks for his woodcuts; on one he cut the outline and the dark shadows, like the hatchings of a pen, and on the other block the demi-tinte. He worked at Bologna from 1630 to 1647, and was fond of developing the designs of Guido and Guercino. A set of his prints after Carracci, Guido, and others was dedicated to Urban VIII, who rewarded him with the order of knighthood of Loreto, and a pension.
