Christoforo di Michele Robetta

Christoforo di Michele Robetta was an artist active during the late Italian Quattrocento, documented as producing graphic art between 1480 and 1500. His surviving corpus consists exclusively of prints, providing insight into late 15th-century techniques for reproductive and narrative imagery.

Six of Christoforo di Michele Robetta’s prints are currently represented in major museum collections, establishing his verifiable historical record. These works span both religious and genre subjects. His narrative pieces include the scenes God spreekt tot Kain die bij dode lichaam van Abel staat and Kain en Abel offeren lam op altaar, while his devotional works include Maria met kind en Johannes de Doper en drie engelen. He also explored allegorical themes, exemplified by the print Oude vrouw en twee liefdesparen in landschap. All documented works are preserved in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.

While documentation focuses primarily on his Christoforo di Michele Robetta prints, these historical works are widely utilized for scholarly research today. Given their age, these artifacts typically fall under public domain status, allowing institutions to provide high-quality prints and downloadable artwork, thereby ensuring the continued availability and study of this phase of European graphic art.
