Francesco Rosaspina

Francesco Rosaspina (2 January 1762 – 2 September 1841) was an Italian engraver and painter.

He emulated the style of Francesco Bartolozzi, with dense crosshatching.

He gained many commissions to engrave copies of local works of art.

This led to a work titled The Gallery of Bologna, with engravings by him, his brother and his pupils, of over a hundred of the paintings at the Pinacoteca.

[2] He was named a docent at the Accademia Clementina and became a friend of Andrea Appiani, Giovanni Battista Bodoni, and Giuseppe Zauli.
