Maso Tommasoii Finiguerra (1426–1464) was an Italian goldsmith, niellist, draftsman, and engraver working in Florence, who was incorrectly described by Giorgio Vasari as the inventor of engraving as a printmaking technique. This made him a crucial figure in the history of old master prints and remained widely believed until the early twentieth century. However, it was gradually realised that Vasari's view, like many of his assertions as to the origins of technical advances, could not be sustained. Typically, Vasari had overstated the importance of a fellow-Florentine, and a fellow-Italian, since it is now clear that engraving developed in Germany before Italy.

  • Maso Tommasoii Finiguerra (1426–1464) was an Italian goldsmith, niellist, draftsman, and engraver working in Florence, who was incorrectly described by Giorgio Vasari as the inventor of engraving as a printmaking technique. This made him a crucial figure in the history of old master prints and remained widely believed until the early twentieth century. However, it was gradually realised that Vasari's view, like many of his assertions as to the origins of technical advances, could not be sustained. Typically, Vasari had overstated the importance of a fellow-Florentine, and a fellow-Italian, since it is now clear that engraving developed in Germany before Italy. Vasari only ever credited him with paper impressions of his nielli, rather than engravings made from special printing-plates, in the usual sense of the word; in fact there probably never were any such engravings by him. Although he clearly was an important artist of his time, few surviving works, and no surviving prints, can now be definitely attributed to him, so scholarly interest in him has greatly reduced. Over 100 drawings in the Uffizi, and others elsewhere, remain attributed to him. He died in his late thirties, and his influence lived after him in the works of the early Florentine engravers and drawings related to them, especially the shadowy figure of Baccio Baldini, who Vasari associates with him.

  • Maso Finiguerra, né en 1426 à Florence où il est mort en 1464, est un orfèvre et un graveur italien qui s'est distingué par son usage du niellage sur des calices, patènes, reliquaires, poignées d'épées, bijoux en argent. Il travailla avec son maître Lorenzo Ghiberti aux portes du baptistère de Florence. En voulant contrôler son Triomphe et le Couronnement de la Vierge, enlevée au ciel et entourée d'anges, avant de recouvrir les traits de nielle, il voulut essayer ce que produiraient sur une feuille de papier humide les figures gravées couvertes de la fumée grasse d'une chandelle. Le papier ayant rendu fidèlement le sujet tracé sur le métal, cette technique (creux destiné à être rempli) donna naissance à la taille-douce (en remplaçant le niello par de l'encre). (fr)
