From LinkedCulture

This engraving wasn't made by Dürer, but it wouldn't exist without him. Venetian print dealer Ferrando Bertelli published this 16th-century reproduction of a Dürer composition, copying it so faithfully you can see the crowned Virgin at center, full-sized angels flanking her, and a cluster of winged putti gathered at her feet. The inscription "Ferrando Bertelli Excudebat" in the lower left corner names the publisher, not the engraver, a glimpse into how the Italian print trade commercially spread northern European imagery across Renaissance Italy.
