Enjoying these epic illustrations for Paradise Lost by John Martin in @publicdomainrev
On the whole I prefer the Gustave Doré ones with the closer perspective but these are stunning too!

Gaetano Zompini and the trades of Venice
Gaetano Zompini (1700–1778) was a well-known painter and engraver in Venice in the 1700s. His works appear in many churches and museums, not just in Venice, but around Italy and Europe.
Today, however, he is better known for the Le Arti che vanno per via nella Città di Venezia — The trades on the streets of the city of Venice — first published in 1753, and later reprinted and republished in several editions.
The book contains a series of sixty engravings, made in the 1740s and 1750s, which show the craftsmen, workers and street vendors habitually seen in the campi and calli of Venice.

Many of the engravings by Marcantonio Raimondi (c1470/1482-c1534) are of unknown paintings. This one of "Prudence" from 1513/1514 is thought to have been after a painting by Raphael (1483-1520). #marcantonioraimondi #engravings #engraving #print #prints #raphael
Another artist whose paintings Marcantonio Raimondi (c1470/1482-c1534) engraved was Baccio Bandinelli (1493-1560). This is "The Man with Two Trumpets" . #marcantonioraimondi #engravings #engraving #print #prints #bacciobandinelli
This engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi (c1470/1482-c1534) is from a painting called "Triumph" by Jacopo Ripanda (d. 1516). #marcantonioraimondi #engravings #engraving #print #prints #jacoporipanda
Marcantonio Raimondi (c1470/1482-c1534) was an Italian engraver who specialised in copying paintings, particularly Raphael (1483-1520). This engraving is of "The Judgement of Paris" and is from around 1510-1520. #marcantonioraimondi #engravings #engraving #print #prints #raphael
Our final print was engraved (and published) by Philip Galle (1537-1612) from a drawing by Pieter Brueghel the Elder in 1574. It is "The Triumph of Time" and, like all of Brueghel's works, rewards close study. #engravings #engraving #prints #print #pieterbruegheltheelder #philipgalle
This print is "The Fair on St George's Day" by Pieter Brueghel the Elder (c1525-1569), again published by Hieronymus Cock (1518-1570), somewhere between 1557 and 1561. #engravings #engraving #prints #print #pieterbruegheltheelder #hieronymuscock
Another incredible drawing by Pieter Brueghel the Elder (c1525-1569) published by Hieronymus Cock (1518-1570) and engraved by Pieter van der Heyden (fl. 1551-1572) from 1557. #engravings #engraving #pieterbruegheltheelder #hieronymuscock #pietervanderheyden #prints #print
Pieter Brueghel the Elder (c1525-1569) had many drawings made into engravings. The prints are as fascinating as any of his paintings. This is "Anger" from "The Seven Deadly Sins" published in 1558 by Hieronymus Cock (1518-1570). #pieterbruegheltheelder #engravings #engraving #prints #print
Our final engraving by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) is from about 1500 and shows a witch riding backwards on a goat - with cherubs? #albrechtdürer #engravings #engraving #prints #print
Today's engraving by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) is a great example of the difference in technique between woodcutting and engraving - even if I am not totally sure what the foreground figures represent. #albrechtdürer #engravings #engraving #prints #print
I have so many questions about this engraving of a deformed pig, from about 1496, by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). The burning one is did this animal ever exist? #albrechtdürer #engravings #engraving #prints #print
