Paolo Fumagalli

Paolo Fumagalli (active mid-19th century) was an Italian printer, engraver, and publisher based in Milan, best known for producing finely printed art and historical works during the height of Italy’s lithographic industry. He collaborated with prominent artists and engravers of the period, issuing prints noted for their clarity, color, and technical refinement.

Fumagalli’s Milan workshop was active in publishing portraits, architectural views, and reproductions of paintings for both Italian and international audiences. His publications reflect the high standard of Italian printing in the mid-1800s, bridging traditional engraving techniques with the emerging use of lithography in art reproduction.
