Italian engraver, pioneer in the use of prints to reproduce the work of other artists. He studied with
Francia and learned much from
Drer s engravings in Venice (Drer is said to have complained to the Venetian senate about being plagiarizes). In about 1510 he settled in Rome and thereafter worked mainly for
Raphael, his engravings helping to spread the master s style throughout Europe. Apart from his association with
Raphael, Raimondi is best known for his series of erotic engravings (after designs by
Giulio Romano), that led to his imprisonment in 1524. He left Rome after the Sack of 1527 and died in obscurity in Bologna.
