Source: "Engraver: b.Brescia, perhaps later in Rome. The printmaker formerly known as Zoan Andrea is the same person as Giovanni Antonio da Brescia (see D. Landau and S. Boorsch, Mantegna, exhibition catalogue Royal Academy and Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1992, pp.57-61, where his oeuvre is expanded beyond Hind)....The prints with the ZA monogram belong before 1505/7; those with Io An Bx after.".

  • Nice article on the artist. Interesting, long enough (7K+). NPOV, fully referenced, no prob with copyvio [1]. Hooks solidly referenced. Image has appropriate license and is a good size. QPQ done. The first hook is the one that really caught my eye, but I wonder if it's a tad confusing (was the print dug up or the sculpture?). Suggest this for clarity and greater interest (+ upgrade spelling of Lacoön). Otherwise good to go! Ultracobalt (talk) 18:58, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
