The identity of the Master of the Die is uncertain. He was given this name because he signed his prints with a small die (dice). Some theories to the identity of the artist include Benedetto Verino, Marcantonio Raimondi's son Daddi or Dado, Giovanni Francesco Zabello, or Tommaso Vincidor.[1] The artist known as the Master of the Die studied under Marcantonio Raimondi.[2] He worked in the style of Raphael.
