Valerio, da Bologna, Valvassori, Giovanni Andrea, active 1510-1572, Zoppino, Nicolò, active 1508-1544 · 1534 · Stampato in Vinegia : Per Nicolo d'Aristotile detto Zoppino · 23 pictures

A devotional book of the Passion of Christ, printed in Venice in 1534 by Nicolò Zoppino, with woodcuts attributed to Valerio da Bologna and Giovanni Andrea Valvassori for a lay Catholic readership. The woodcuts show crowded scenes of arrest, mockery and trial, with strong black contours, dense hatching, and haloed figures that a designer could draw on for bold, high-contrast narrative panels.
