Giovanni Battista de' Cavalieri

Giovanni Battista de' Cavalieri (1526–1597), an Italian engraver, was born at Villa Lagarina and died at Rome.

His style of engraving resembles that of Aeneas Vico.

Many of his plates are copies after the great Italian masters; they are etched, and finished with the graver.

He was very laborious, and his plates number nearly 380.
