Jacopo Leonardis

Jacopo Leonardis is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This 18th-century printmaker carved biblical scenes into copper plates. Jacopo Leonardis turned two dramatic moments, The Last Judgment and The Golden Calf, into dark, finely detailed images meant to be pasted on walls or tucked inside books. His prints were small enough to carry in a coat pocket yet packed with swirling figures and sharp shadows, trading paint for ink. See how the light falls across the slumped idol in The Golden Calf next.
