Marco Dente - The Sacrifice of Noah
Summary
The scene, illustrating an episode in the Old Testament book of Genesis (8:20), was based on an Italian engraving by Marco Dente (d. 1527), taken in turn from a fresco in the Vatican Loggia, which was completed before 1519 by one of the painters in Raphael’s workshop.

Printmaking in woodcut and engraving came to Northern Italy within a few decades of their invention north of the Alps. Engraving probably came first to Florence in the 1440s, the goldsmith Maso Finiguerra (1426–64) used the technique. Italian engraving caught the very early Renaissance, 1460–1490. Print copying was a widely accepted practice, as well as copying of paintings viewed as images in their own right.
