Benjamin Martini was an 18th-century graphic artist documented as active in 1777. His artistic output centers exclusively on printmaking, utilizing the medium to illustrate narrative subjects ranging from biblical episodes to allegorical and genre scenes focusing on morality.

Martini’s verified body of work primarily consists of specific narrative compositions. Six of his prints are preserved in museum collections, confirming his practice within the European graphic arts tradition of the period. His works are notably represented in the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Key prints held in collections include the religious scene Filippus doopt de kamerling of eunuch, alongside two works exploring themes of deceit and morality, De Ontdekte Schijndeugd: Bely en Dirk and Geveinsde droefheid.
