About the author

Francesco Colonna

d. 1527

Best known as the figure traditionally credited with the dazzling Renaissance dream book Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, this Venetian Dominican left behind one of the strangest and most beautiful works of early printing. His name is tied to a book famous for its rich imagery, learned references, and lasting influence on art, design, and literary history.
