Apollo and Marsyas by the Master of the Die
The identity of the Master of the Die is uncertain. He was given this name because he signed his prints with a small die. Some theories to the identity of the artist include Benedetto Verino, Marcantonio Raimondi's son Daddi or Dado, Giovanni Francesco Zabello, or Tommaso Vincidor.[1] What is known is the Master of the Die studied under Marcantonio Raimondi.[2] He worked in the style of Raphael. Some of his works reside at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[3]
