Lucantonio degli Uberti

Very little is known about Lucantonio degli Uberti, an itinerant Florentine engraver, woodcutter, and printer. He was active in Florence during the last years of the fifteenth century. in 1503-1504, he worked as a painter in Verona. Between 1503 and 1526, he engraved numerous woodcut book illustrations in Venice. In these works, Lucantonio included the monogram with his initials in several different variations, such as L, LA, LAF, or LAFF, signifying "Lucas Antonius Florentinus Fecit". Recently, some scholars have argued that Lucantonio worked perhaps also in Milan and Esztergom in Hungary in the 1490s. Though a considerable number of woodcuts are attributed to Lucantonio, only eight engravings are accredited to him with any certainty.
