Circignani, Nicolò, Cavalieri, Giovanni Battista · 1585 · 37 pictures

A 1585 engraved series by Giovanni Battista de' Cavalieri after paintings by Niccolò Circignani, published in Rome to celebrate the martyrs of the Church, commissioned under Pope Gregory XIII and dedicated to devotion for Jesuit and Catholic readers. Its plates are small, crowded engravings with Latin captions, showing dense groupings of figures in outdoor settings, with strong contrasts of dark hatching and open light that a designer could use for studying Counter-Reformation narrative composition.
