Carlo Gregori

Carlo Gregori was a printmaker active during the years 1730 to 1740. While documentation concerning his career outside of specific projects is limited, eight of his prints are currently represented in major museum collections, establishing him as a working graphic artist of the mid-eighteenth century.

Gregori specialized in etching and engraving, contributing significantly to the tradition of reproductive printmaking. His verifiable output includes plates created for the authoritative catalog Museum Florentinum (Statuae antiquae dorum et virorum illustrium), a massive illustrated volume documenting classical sculptures. These works demonstrate his technical ability in rendering three-dimensional forms into two dimensions, including pieces such as Plate LI (51): Bacchus, Plate LXXI (71): Narcissus, and Plate LXXV (75): Male Athlete.

His work is preserved in institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to his reproductive work, Gregori is known for his self-portraits, including two versions titled Self-portrait in a Turkish Outfit. Since works created during this period frequently enter the public domain, these high-quality prints are often available as downloadable artwork for academic and private study.
