Michele Greco Lucchese

Fall of Phaeton
The Bathers
Martyrdom of St. Peter

Michele Greco Lucchese is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Prints from the late 1500s often show dramatic religious scenes or classical myths in stark black and white. Michele Greco Lucchese carved three of these: the violent Martyrdom of St. Peter, the muscular The Bathers, and the fiery Fall of Phaeton. Flip from one to see how the same burin (engraving tool) turns torture, leisure, and disaster into bold linework. Next, tap Fall of Phaeton to watch the chariot crash across the page.
