About this person
Marcantonio Michiel (1484-1552) was a Venetian noble from a family prominent in the service of the state who was interested in matters of art. His notes on the contemporary art collections of Venice, Padua, Milan and other northern Italian centres, written sporadically between 1521 and 1543 and preserved in the Biblioteca Marciana, provide a major primary source for art historians and a less thoroughly inspected source for historians of décor.
