'''Andrea Andreani''' (1540–1623) was an Italian [[engraver]] on wood, who was among the first printmakers in Italy to use [[chiaroscuro]], which required multiple colours.
 
Andreani was born and generally active in [[Mantua]] about 1540 ([[Brulliot]] says 1560) and died at [[Rome]] in 1623. His engravings are scarce and valuable, and are chiefly copies of [[Andrea Mantegna|Mantegna]], [[Albrecht Dürer]], [[Parmigianino]] and [[Titian]]. The most remarkable of his works are ''Mercury and Ignorance'', the ''Deluge'', ''Pharaoh's Host Drowned in the Red Sea'' (after Titian), the ''[[Triumphs of Caesar (Mantegna)|Triumph of Caesar]]'' (after Mantegna), and ''Christ retiring from the judgment-seat of Pilate'' after a relief by Giambologna.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Andreani, Andrea|volume=1|page=971}}</ref> He was active 1584–1610 in Florence.<ref>ULAN</ref>

Andreani's work is held in several museums worldwide, including the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]],<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/359885?searchField=All&amp;sortBy=Relevance&amp;ft=Andrea+Andreani&amp;offset=0&amp;rpp=20&amp;pos=1 | access-date=2021-01-11 | title=Rape of a Sabine Woman – 1584 – Andrea Andreani Italian | publisher=[[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] | website=www.metmuseum.org }}</ref> the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Woman Contemplating a Skull|url=https://collections.mfa.org/objects/173475/woman-contemplating-a-skull;jsessionid=BCEE3C65107A9D6D6EAA56EFD1A71A58|access-date=2021-01-11 | publisher=[[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]] | website=collections.mfa.org|language=en}}</ref> the [[Cleveland Museum of Art]],<ref>{{Cite web| last=|first=|date=| title=Virgin and Child with St. John, St. Catherine of Siena and St. Francis | url=https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1960.19|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190411003425/https://clevelandart.org/art/1960.19 |archive-date=2019-04-11 |access-date=| publisher=[[Cleveland Museum of Art]] | website=www.clevelandart.org }}</ref> the [[Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-09-21|title=Andrea Andreani|url=https://art.famsf.org/andrea-andreani | access-date=2021-01-11 | website=art.famsf.org | publisher=[[Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco]] | language=en}}</ref> the [[Ackland Art Museum]],<ref>{{Cite web| title=The Triumph of Julius Caesar: The Musicians (no. 8), after Andrea Mantegna – Works – eMuseum| url=https://ackland.emuseum.com/objects/12389/the-triumph-of-julius-caesar-the-musicians-no-8-after-a;jsessionid=F0D7A3E444F249FE05F56C859F5F361D | access-date=2021-01-11 | website=ackland.emuseum.com | publisher=[[Ackland Art Museum]] | language=en}}</ref> the [[Clark Art Institute]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Surprised Man|url=https://www.clarkart.edu/artpiece/detail/the-surprised-man|access-date=2021-01-11|website=www.clarkart.edu | publisher=[[Clark Art Institute]] }}</ref> the [[Harvard Art Museums]],<ref>{{Cite web|last=Harvard|title=From the Harvard Art Museums' collections Triumph of Julius Caesar|url=https://harvardartmuseums.org/collections/object/276855|access-date=2021-01-11|website=harvardartmuseums.org|language=en}}</ref> the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]],<ref>{{Cite web| date=2021-01-11| title=Hercules Strangling the Nemean Lion {{!}} Andreani, Andrea {{!}} V&A Search the Collections|url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1153970 | access-date=2021-01-11| website=collections.vam.ac.uk | publisher=[[Victoria and Albert Museum]] |language=en}}</ref> the [[Albright–Knox Art Gallery]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Triumphs of Julius Caesar {{!}} Albright-Knox|url=https://www.albrightknox.org/artworks/1891471-10-triumphs-julius-caesar|access-date=2021-01-11|website=www.albrightknox.org | publisher=[[Albright–Knox Art Gallery]] }}</ref> the [[National Gallery of Canada]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=An Allegory of Death|url=https://www.gallery.ca/collection/artwork/an-allegory-of-death|access-date=2021-01-11| website=www.gallery.ca | publisher=[[National Gallery of Canada]] |language=en}}</ref> the [[Davis Museum at Wellesley College]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Davis Museum at Wellesley College|url=http://dms.wellesley.edu/detail.php?module=objects&type=browse&id=4&term=Italian+(Mantuan)&page=1&kv=12978&record=0&module=objects|access-date=2021-01-11|website=dms.wellesley.edu | publisher=[[Davis Museum at Wellesley College]] }}</ref> the [[Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum|Cooper Hewitt]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Print, Virgin and Child and St. John|url=https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18404275/|access-date=2021-01-11|website=collection.cooperhewitt.org | publisher=[[Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum]] |language=en-us}}</ref> the [[University of Michigan Museum of Art]],<ref>{{Cite web| title=Exchange: Madonna and Child with a Bishop | url=https://exchange.umma.umich.edu/resources/31907/view|access-date=2021-01-11|website=exchange.umma.umich.edu | publisher=[[University of Michigan Museum of Art]] }}</ref> the [[Bowdoin College Museum of Art]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=EmbARK Web Kiosk -
