Explore: Andrea Schiavone

Andrea Meldolla, called Schiavone, was born in Zara, Dalmatia, at that time under Venetian jurisdiction; his family came from Meldolla in Romagna. He was probably living in Venice by the late 1530s where he died in 1563. He also produced etchings, one of which likewise showed the Christ Child and the infant Baptist, each supported by his kneeling mother.
