Campagnola, Giulio (c. 1482-c. 1518)

Italian engraver. Trained by Andrea Mantegna, he is remembered for popularizing the works of such artists as Dürer (whose popularity in Italy derived in part from Campagnola's etchings), and Giorgione, who influenced his style. His technique anticipated later schools of engraving.

He was born in Padua. By 1499 he was executing work for the court in Ferrara, and by 1509 he was working in Venice. His pupils included his adopted son Domenico Campagnola (c. 1484-c. 1563).
