About this work

This engraving shows a crowded wooden table piled with huge fish. Some have gaping mouths. Others curl like ropes. A man in the corner holds a long pole. This was based on a drawing by Giulio Romano. He painted frescoes in a room called the Sala dei Venti. Scultori turned Romano’s sketch into a detailed print. Check out this print at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
