  • Maso Tommasoii Finiguerra (1426 – 1464), was an Italian goldsmith, draftsman, and engraver working in Florence, whose name is distinguished in the history of art and craftsmanship for reasons which are partly mythical. Giorgio Vasari claims Finiguerra invented the printmaking technique of engraving (using that word in its popular sense of taking impressions on paper from designs engraved on metal plates to create prints). 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. 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.

  • Maso Finiguerra (Santa Lucia d'Ognissanti, 1426 - 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).
  • Lavorò con Lorenzo Ghiberti alle porte del Battistero di Firenze. Secondo Giorgio Vasari è l'inventore dell'incisione con bulino su metallo che è all'origine della stampa calcografica.
  • Tommaso 'Maso' Finiguerra foi um ourives, escultor e pintor italiano. Conhecido por seus trabalhos decorativos em nigelo, trabalhou em colaboração com o artista florentino Antonio Pollaiuolo. Dedicou-se também à gravação.
