About this title

Synopsis

Though it was a medium employed by many of the leading painters of the day, few are aware of the scope and significance of Italian etching. This catalogue presents the first overview of etching in Italy from 1520 to 1700, and of its importance to the visual arts of the Renaissance, Mannerist, and Baroque periods. Printed duotone on heavy laid paper, Italian Etchers is an indispensable reference for any student or admirer of Italian art, or of the graphic arts in general.
