Ugo da Carpi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ugo da Carpi (c.1455-c.1523) was an Italian printmaker who worked in woodcut, once thought to be the inventor of the chiaroscuro woodcut technique in printmaking--it is now believed that he adapted earlier German examples, and that he coined the term chiaroscuro. Most of his prints depict works by Raphael and Parmigianino, including one entitled "Hercules Chasing Avarice from the Temple of the Muses."
