DescriptionBartsch and Hind considered Giovanni Antonio da Brescia and Zoan Andrea to be two different artists. Suzanne Boorsch ("Mantegna and his Printmakers" in Jane Martineau, ed., "Andrea Mantegna" (London, 1992)), posits that Zoan Andrea and Giovanni Andrea da Brescia are the same person, an opinion first expressed by Jean Duchesne in 1819.
