Del Diluvio di Roma 1495

Giuliano Dati's woodcut print *Del Diluvio di Roma* (1495) depicts a scene from the biblical flood story. The scene takes place in a city with a bridge over a river and an individual on a boat rowing. The print is part of a larger work, likely a book, and features a border of decorative elements. The scene is accompanied by an inscription in Italian, likely a biblical passage or a reflection on the scene's meaning. The print is a fine example of early Italian woodcuts, a printmaking technique that was popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, and demonstrates the artist’s ability to combine the visual language of art with textual commentary.
