After Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (bap.1609-d.1664), Genovese artist who specialised in paintings scenes depicting the journeys of the patriarchs (Noah, Abraham, Isaac) but also made spectacular religious and mythological scenes. He was also a skilled printmaker who in addition to his virtuosic etchings is acknowledged as the inventor of the monotype. Etched by Pietro Monaco (1707-72), Venetian printmaker who in 1750 was appointed to supervise retoration works on the mosaics of the basilica of San Marco. This plate was included in Monaco's 'Raccolta di 112 stampe di pitture della storia sacra' (1763), a large series of prints reproducing paintings in Venetian palazzi.
