Jacopo Caraglio (ca. 1500-1565) worked in Rome alongside Marcantonio Raimondi (1480-1534) and others in the group of printmakers and artists who had assembled around Raphael before his early death in 1520. For this series of classical gods and goddesses Caraglio collaborated with Rosso Fiorentino (1495-1540) who made the original drawings for Caraglio to etch. British Museum curators explain that three versions of this series of Pagan Divinities were printed, with differing levels of shading in the niches and borders. Examples from all three versions are intermingled here. Twenty different images were originally produced. Facsimiles were also later made by other artists and reprinted from new plates. Scholars credit this set of prints – and a couple of other similar sets by Caraglio – as important forces in spreading the new elongated Italian Mannerist style across Europe.
