He etched the series Opera selectiora quae Titianus … et Paulus Calliari Veronensis invenerunt et pinxerunt.

The series was first published in Venice by Jacob van Campen in 1682, and was dedicated to Louis XIV. It was often reprinted: in 1684, 1749, and 1763; and later by Teodoro Viero, who added his address to the plates, in 1786 and 1789.
