Agostino Veneziano worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Agostino Veneziano as Italian engraver (c. 1490 – c. 1540).
Agostino Veneziano was born at Venice in 1490. His recorded nationality is Italy.
This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as engraver, graphic artist and visual artist.
His best-known work is Story of Amor and Psyche after Michiel Coxie. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in Italy shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
