Printmaking
Antonio da Trento (1508–1550) was an Italian printmaker, born in Trento. He specialized in chiaroscuro woodcuts, especially of religious subjects. Da Trento probably first learned wood engraving from Ugo da Carpi. He was later a disciple of Parmigianino, and afterwards within the School of Fontainebleau.
