Leonardo Parasole

Leonardo Parasole

Leonardo Parasole (born c. 1570) was an Italian engraver on wood of the late-Mannerist and early-Baroque periods.

He was born and active in Rome. He married the engraver Isabella Parasole, and discarded his original last name, "Norsini" or "Norcino", and took his wife's more distinguished last name. He made cuts for the Herbal book written by Castor Durante, physician to Pope Sixtus V, which was engraved by order of that pontiff. He also engraved the wood-cuts to a "Testamentum novnm, arabice et latine"' and several prints from the designs of Antonio Tempesta, including an "Annunciation". His son, Bernardino Parasole was also an engraver and painter.
