Enea VICO (Parma 1523 - Ferrara 1567)
|
Enea, son of Francesco, was antique dealer, drawer, engraver and numismatist. He was born in Parma on January 29th, 1523, according to what Huber says. After the first school years in the city, and very likely after he made acquaintance with the works of Giulio Romano, Vico moved to Rome in 1541. He then worked for Tommaso Barlacchi, who also engraved with him a series of Grottesche, in 1542. In the classical atmosphere of Rome, Vico’s style developed according to that of Perin del Vaga and Francesco Salviati, but always with Parmigianino as main reference. Around the first half of the century and after studying the works of Marcantonio, Agostino Veneziano, Caraglio and Bonasone, Vico acquired his own, peculiar style which can be seen in his main works. From Rome Vico moved to Florence, where he worked for Cosimo I, and then went to Venice, in 1557. In 1563 he is already in Ferrara, working for Alfonso d’Este till his death in 1567.
