Giovanni Folo
Giovanni Folo is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Giovanni Folo made dramatic religious prints in the late 18th to mid-19th century. His engravings show violent scenes with crowds and figures in motion, like the swirling chaos of *Massacre of the Innocents*, or the tense grouping in *Martyrdom of St. Andrew*. These prints belong to a tradition of narrative history art that stayed popular even as painting styles changed. Tap *Martyrdom of St. Andrew* to see how light and shadow guide the eye through the drama.
