Carlo Gregori

Carlo Gregori spent his days carving tiny scenes into copper plates, so small you’d need a magnifying glass to see the faces in his crowds. He never signed his prints, so experts still argue over which ones are really his—but his scenes of Venetian street life crackle with gossip and shadow. If you like the way prints let you hold a whole world in your palm, hunt down his *Untitled* print from the mid-1700s; it’s a tiny stage where a fruit seller drops an orange and a nobleman’s wig slips sideways.
