Cesare Antonio Accius

Last updated

Cesare Antonio Accius (or Accer) [1] was an Italian engraver working in the early 17th century. According to William Young Ottley, writing in 1831, his work was known from a single print, showing a mountainous landscape, with a chapel, a large house and three figures, one of which is beating a drum. The artist signed it "Cesare Antoni Accius, fecit, inv. A.D. 1609.". [2]

The Yale University Art Gallery has an impression of a print answering this description under the title Landscape with Men Stealing Waterfowl. [3]
