Giuseppe Asioli

After his father's death in 1801, he moved to Bologna to attend the engraving school operated by Francesco Rosaspina.

They feature angels, after works by his major influence, the Flemish engraver Gérard Edelinck.

[1] In 1811, he achieved success by receiving the "Grand Prix for Fine Arts", established in 1785 by Peter von Biron, the last Duke of Courland.

His winning entry was an engraved reproduction of "Medea Rejuvenating Aeson", from a painting by Pellegrino Tibaldi.

He held the seat for twenty-two years while continuing his artistic activity; producing numerous engraved portraits of royalty and other notables.
