Giuseppe Scolari was a graphic artist whose known activity spans the late sixteenth century, specifically documented between the years 1550 and 1592. His surviving oeuvre consists predominantly of prints, with fifteen works represented across major international institutions, establishing his importance during this period.

Scolari's work is secured in prestigious collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Art, the Rijksmuseum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The prints held in these public repositories attest to his thematic range, which encompassed both religious devotion and classical mythology. Notable examples include the sacred subjects Heilige Hieronymus in de wildernis and Lamentation over the Body of Christ, as well as the repeated depiction of Heilige Joris en de draak. Further demonstrating his engagement with classical antiquity is the mythological work Roof van Proserpina.

The documented body of Giuseppe Scolari prints confirms lasting scholarly interest in the artist’s output. Due to the age of the works, much of his material is considered public domain, allowing for extensive circulation of high-quality prints and academic research.
