Sažetak
The engravers Martin Rota Kolunić (Šibenik, around 1540 – Prague 1583) and Natale Bonifacio (Božo Bonifačić, Šibenik 1537 – Šibenik 1592) made the majority of their works in the field of information prints. It is the matter of works that try to offer objective and exact image information about people, things and events from the reality (unlike "fiction" issues, like religious and mythological contents). Their information engravings and etchings are listed into the following groups: portraits, reproduction graphics, cartography, information about current events, book illustrations. Every master has, however, his own thematic preferences. Thus, there are portraits prevailing in the work by Rota, and book illustrations and cartographic creations in the work by Boniface. Both of them produce prints of high informative value and drawing quality. In the way of styling the topics, as well as in drawing and decorative editing of prints, both masters apply common conventions in the adequate field of graphic styling. Their prints therefore enable the representative insight into the fundamental characteristics of information graphics being the first mass medium based on an image in the early new era.
