Domenico Vitus
Domenico Vitus (born c. 1536) was an Italian engraver. He is supposed to have studied engraving under Agostino Veneziano, whose style he imitated with some success. In the prime of life he retired to the monastery of Vallombrosa. Among his plates are the following: St. Bartholomew; inscribed. Dom. Vitit orditut Valumbrosa monachus excitit Roma (1576); St. Joachim holding a Censer; after Andrea del Sarto; Jupiter and Callisto; inscribed Dominici V. F. A set of plates representing the Passion, the border ornamented with birds and beasts.
