Antonio Baratti (1724-1787)

"Antonio Baratti (or Baratta; 7 January 1724, in Belluno (not in Florence as some sources say) – 28 July 1787, in Venice) was an Italian engraver, etcher and printmaker.

Baratti was educated in the workshop of Joseph Wagner in Venice, later together with Fabio Berardi and Francesco Bartolozzi.

Baratti studied and worked for a time at an engraver's workshop in Bassano del Grappa.

He married Valentina Monaco and opened his own workshop in which he was supported by his wife and his three sons Domenico, Tommaso (or Tomaso) and Pietro and soon also by the pupils Antonio Sandi and Giuseppe Daniotto." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
