 His masterpiece is considered to be an engraving after Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment".Rota was active until his death in 1583, leaving a small number of plates incomplete, which were completed by his pupil Anselmus de Boodt.Rota usually signed his plates with his name, sometimes adding the names Sebenico and Venice, but he sometimes used a monogram consisting of a capital 'M' and a pictogram of a wheel ("Rota" means 'wheel' in Latin).
