Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of Federico Barocci's sophisticated and meticulously refined engraving techniques, situating his work within its historical art context. Through an exploration of Barocci's celebrated prints, the author demonstrates the ways in which the artist's technical artistry and stylistic innovations contributed to the development of engraving, particularly in the areas of chiaroscuro and draughtsmanship.
