Gian Giacomo VALEGIO (Verona circa 1548 – 1587)
|
Draftsman and engraver active in the second half of the seventeenth century. Valegio or Valeggio, Giovanni Giacomo, an engraver from Verona, was active around 1570-90, at the same time as an art publisher named Nicolo Valegio. Several of his delicately engraved sheets exist, but proofs with good print quality are rare. He is often confused with Gian Giacomo Caraglio, since Valegio also called himself “Jacobus Veronensis”. This name appears on one sheet, the Holy Family from Raffello Sanzio, which Bartsch assigns to Caraglio (B. no. 5). On another sheet (Bartsch no. 7), which fits Valegio's style more closely, he signs himself Jo. Jacobus Veronensis fe.
