# Portrait of Andrea Odoni [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VISSCHER, Cornelis]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Engraving ## Commentary Cornelis Visscher was one of the most important and productive Dutch portrait engravers and draftsmen of the 17th century, despite his early death. He also did engravings of biblical scenes, genre scenes, landscapes, and animal studies. Visscher engraved <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/l/lotto/4/05odoni.html'\)" href="/html/l/lotto/4/05odoni.html">Lorenzo Lotto's Portrait of Andrea Odoni</a> in 1653 \(in reverse\) as a Correggio, when it was in an Amsterdam collection. The iconographical importance of the crucifix was not lost on the engraver; he slightly enlarged it. The format of the engraving is somewhat wider than that of Lotto's painting. ## Related artworks - [Lieven Coppenol]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
