Marco Pino (c. 1520-1579 or after): A 16th-century Italian artist from Siena, renowned for his mastery of pen and ink, as well as chiaroscuro woodcuts. His works, including studies of the Ascension Virgin and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, showcase intricate detail and a deep understanding of religious iconography. Notable pieces, such as the Perseus series, display his innovative use of contrasting light and shadow, a technique that was influential in the Italian art scene of the time. This artistic legacy continues to inspire, with works like Giovanni Gallo's Madonna and Child being inspired by Pino's original creations. From the mid-1570s, Pino's art serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Italian Renaissance.
