Bartolommeo Coriolano (1590〔Thomas 1915 p. 716〕 or 1599〔McClintock and Strong 1969 p. 113〕–1676, pronunciation ko-ree-o-lă'no〔 and sometimes spelled Coriolanus) was an Italian engraver during the Baroque period. His father, Cristoforo Coriolano, and brother, Giovanni Battista Coriolano were also woodblock printers, although there is some doubt over the actual relationship between Cristoforo and Bartolommeo Coriolano. Coriolano had a daughter, Teresa Maria Coriolano, who later became a painter and engraver. Coriolano trained under the painter Guido Reni and modeled many of his woodblock prints on the work of his teacher, as was common. Coriolano was a traditional woodblock printer who followed the German style in printing. He was successful and popular, though not an innovator in the technique of woodblock printing. Eventually, he came to the attention of Pope Urban VII who granted Coriolano knighthood, as a "Roman count", and a pension. Coriolano's works are the most celebrated of the works produced by the Coriolano family. ==Biography== Coriolano was born in Bologna in either 1590〔 or 1599,〔 the son of Cristoforo Coriolano. He, like his brother Giambattista (born 1595〔 or 1589〔) became wood engravers like their father. Originally from Nuremberg, their father had moved to Venice and changed the family name to Lederer.〔 His father died at Venice in 1600. With such a distance between Coriolano's first work, 1627, and the death of his father, the relationship of father and son is questionable. This is compounded by his father's career with Giorgio Vasari in 1568, making his father of a considerable age when Coriolano was born.〔SDUK 1851 p. 419〕 He was first instructed by his father at the Academy of the Incamminati, of the Carracci, at Bologna.〔 He afterwards became a pupil of Reni, in whose studio he learned wood-engraving.〔Bryan 1886 p. 308〕 After the successful woodblock printer Andrea Andreani died, Coriolano took his place.〔Griffith 1779 p. 368〕 He worked at Bologna from 1630 to 1647, and was fond of developing the designs of Reni and Guercino.〔 His success at imitating Reni brought him to the attention of Pope Urban VIII.〔 A set of his prints after Carracci, Reni, and others was dedicated to Urban VIII,〔 and Coriolano provided the pope with a print of the Madonna; the pope granted him a salary and brought Coriolano into the Knighthood of Loreto〔 (with the title Cavaliere di Loreto).〔 During this time, he called himself ''Romanus Eques'', "Roman knight",〔Chatto and Jackson 1969 p. 440〕 which refers to his knighthood.〔 Coriolano had a daughter, Theresa Maria Coriolano, who was also an engraver and painter.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bartolomeo Coriolano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
