New Resource: Census of Italian Renaissance Woodcuts

Please note the existence of a new resource, which has just gone live: The online Census of Italian Renaissance Woodcuts. The Census team have traced, studied and catalogued all single-leaf woodcuts and woodblocks made in Italy from the earliest known use of this medium to about 1550.

The project is part of the research activities of the Institute of Art History of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini. It can be consulted from the Fondazione’s website or http://italianrenaissancewoodcuts.com/.

The works belong to museums and public collections, libraries, archives, art dealers and private collectors, in Italy and worldwide. The Census will continue to be enriched with new information.
