Cherubino Alberti was an Italian engraver and printmaker active in Rome during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Working primarily in copper engraving, he produced religious and mythological prints that circulated widely across Europe, establishing him as a significant figure in the dissemination of Counter-Reformation imagery. His technical precision and prolific output made him influential among contemporaries and later printmakers.
