Giulio Campagnola (c. 1482 – c. 1515)

• Was an Italian engraver and painter.
• His few, rare, prints translated the rich Venetian Renaissance style of oil paintings of Giorgione and the early Titian into the medium of engraving.
• He was the adoptive father of the artist Domenico Campagnola.

• He was born in Padua.

• According to Giorgio Vasari, his father Girolamo was also an artist "a Paduan painter and disciple of Squarcione".

• A number of sources, including Vasari, say that Campagnola was extremely accomplished in a number of artistic areas as a teenager.

• In 1499 he appears (rather briefly) in the accounts of the court at Ferrara, another centre of North Italian printmaking.
