Excerpt from Some Early Italian Engravings Before the Time of Marcantonio
From the time of Raphael onward Italian engrav ing presents an overwhelmingly large proportion of reproductions of pictures, and loses on that account its primary interest. But in the fifteenth and the early sixteenth century, the engravers, though for the most part less accomplished craftsmen, were artists of real independence. We may in some cases exaggerate this independence through not knowing the sources Which they used, but the mere lack of that knowledge adds a particular interest to their prints. Treated not only in virtue of their special claim as engravings, but merely as designs, we find something in them which the paintings of the period do not offer us.
In general, the presence and influence of one of the greater artistic personalities of the time may be recog nized, but seldom definitely enough for us to trace the painter 's immediate direction. Mantegna is the mostbrilliant exception of a painter of first rank who is known to have handled the graver at this period. But forgetting the great names it is remarkable how in the early Renaissance in Italy even the secondary crafts men produced work of the same inexpressible charm that pervades the great masterpieces.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the early stages of Italian engraving, from the 15th century to the early 16th century.

Indeed, they developed many of the techniques that would later be employed by the more famous masters. Covering a wide range of artists and their work, this book presents both a broad overview and a deep dive into the history of engraving during this period. The author explores the relationships between the works of these artists and the artistic and cultural landscape of Italy at the time. It also delves into the influence of engraving on the development of art and the spread of ideas. Through this journey into the early days of Italian engraving, the author uncovers the fascinating stories of the artists and their contributions to the art form, providing a fresh perspective on the development of art history.
