Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a survey of mezzotint engraving from its invention in the 1640s down to its decline around 1820. Along with a brief history of the technique, there are numerous reproductions of mezzotint prints, arranged in chronological order and illustrating its development and its characteristic qualities. Early mezzotints, such as those by Ludwig von Siegen, demonstrated the process's potential for reproducing painterly effects. Later prints, by masters including John Raphael Smith and James McArdell, show its application to interpreting the work of Van Dyck, Reynolds, and other major painters, as well as to subjects such as theatrical portraiture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332055715_0
