During the sixteenth century, the woodcut was elevated to an art form in itself and was no longer reserved solely for book illustration. In Venice, the popularity of the woodcut was heightened by numerous reproductions of the works of Titian and his circle, which were often commissioned by Titian himself. Boldrini made several woodcuts after drawings by the Venetian master.
