Schiaminossi, Raffaello
(b Borgo Sansepolcro, 1572; d 1622). Italian engraver and painter. He was enrolled in the Florentine artists’ guild on 7 April 1596. The sources of his many and varied prints can be found in the work of Ventura Salimbeni, in some of Raphael’s drawings, mediated through Marcantonio Raimondi and his disciples, and in Federico Barocci, Bernardo Castello and Luca Cambiaso. There is also a northern European element in Schiaminossi’s six engravings (B. 2, 55, 89, 90, 95, 96 [213, 225, 231 (89/90), 233, 234]) after Lucas van Leyden, confirming the artistic interchanges between Italy and the Netherlands c. 1605. However, Schiaminossi was not merely a reproducer but also a creative artist. His original work can be seen in the 43 prints engraved for Il simulacro dell’arte e dell’uso della scherma (Siena, 1609) by Ridolfo Capoferro da Cagli ( fl 1609–30).
