Abstract

The article focuses on the engravings found in the printings of Bernardus de Prevedariis, the Milanese engraver, in Italy. The Prevedari print receives criticisms because the monumental candelabrum contained the name of Donato Bramante, an Italian architect. In addition, it has been known as the earliest documented print and the largest Italian engraving on a single plate realized during the 15th century. Moreover, the iconographical reading surrounds the mystery of his artwork while the context of his engraving remains unclear.
