"Giovanni Battista de'Cavalieri (1526–1597), an Italian engraver, was born at Villa Lagarina and died at Rome. His style of engraving resembles that of Aeneas Vico. Many of his plates are copies after the great Italian masters; they are etched, and finished with the graver. He was very laborious, and his plates number nearly 380. The following are those most worthy of notice.
The Frontispiece, and Heads of the Popes, for the Vite de' Pontifici.
Thirty-three plates of the Ruins of Rome; after Dossio. 1579.
Fifty-eight plates of the Ancient statues of Rome Antiquarum statuarum urbis Romae. 1561" - (en.wikipedia.org 01.08.2021)
