在金属上蚀刻图像最初用作装饰盔甲的方法,15世纪末首次作为版画技术使用。这项深入的研究探索了蚀刻版画的起源,它从装饰技术到美术的演变,以及它在文艺复兴早期在欧洲的传播,导致了15世纪50年代荷兰版画领域的专业化。这本书插图精美,以熟悉的文艺复兴艺术家的作品为特色,包括Albrecht Dürer、Jan Gossart、Pieter Breughel the Elder和Parmigianino,以及一些不太知名的实践者,如Daniel Hopfer和Lucas van Leyden,他们的开创性工作为后来的版画家如伦勃朗和戈雅铺平了道路。这本书还包括对蚀刻过程的清晰而迷人的描述,以及对这种媒介如何让艺术家创作出比雕刻更耐用、比木版更精致的高度细致的版画的调查。
The first comprehensive look at the origins and diffusion across Europe of the etched print during the late 15th and early 16th centuries
The etching of images on metal, originally used as a method for decorating armor, was first employed as a printmaking technique at the end of the 15th century. This in-depth study explores the origins of the etched print, its evolution from decorative technique to fine art, and its spread across Europe in the early Renaissance, leading to the professionalization of the field in the Netherlands in the 1550s. Beautifully illustrated, this book features the work of familiar Renaissance artists, including Albrecht Dürer, Jan Gossart, Pieter Breughel the Elder, and Parmigianino, as well as lesser known practitioners, such as Daniel Hopfer and Lucas van Leyden, whose pioneering work paved the way for later printmakers like Rembrandt and Goya. The book also includes a clear and fascinating description of the etching process, as well as an investigation of how the medium allowed artists to create highly detailed prints that were more durable than engravings and more delicate than woodblocks.
