    SIXTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 • 737-4215 extension 224 MAJOR ITALIAN ENGRAVINGS CATALOG PUBLISHED BY NATIONAL GALLERY WASHINGTON, B.C. June 14, 1973. A major catalog on the National Gallery of Art's collection of fifteenth and early sixteenth century Italian prints has been published by the National Gallery. This catalog has been produced in conjunction with the Gallery's comprehensive exhibition, Prints of _the Italian Renaissance, on view June 23 through October 7, 1973. The new volume, Early Italian Engravings from the National Gallery of Art, is the third in a series on the Gallery's graphic arts holdings and the first to be devoted to Italian prints. Over 600 pages in length, it includes reproductions of and scholarly entries on all 191 engravings belonging to the Gallery, and 175 supplementary illustrations. The catalog also contains detailed biographies of every engraver represented in the collection, and discusses problems of dating and stylistic development as they apply to the artist's entire oeuvre in essays which reflect the most extensive new research done in this field since the publication in 1948 of the second part of Arthur M. Hind's corpus. Early Italian Engraving. New ideas are advanced about the attributions of early Florentine prints, and entirely new chronologies are proposed for the engravings of such artists as Andrea Mantegna, Jacopo de f Barbari, and Giulio Campagnola. (more) -2. MAJOR ITALIAN ENGRAVINGS CATALOG PUBLISHED BY NATIONAL GALLERY In addition, the general introduction to the catalog traces the entire development of printmaking in Italy in a systematic way, stressing the importance of the influence of the northern engravers, particularly DUrer and Schongauer.

  • Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010
    The Brilliant Line: Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010 When the first engravings appeared in southern Germany around 1430, the incision of metal was still the domain of goldsmiths and other metalworkers who used burins and punches to incise armor, liturgical objects, and jewelry with designs. As paper became widely available in Europe, some of these craftsmen recorded their designs by printing them with ink onto paper. Thus the art of engraving was born. An engraver drives a burin, a metal tool with a lozenge-shaped tip, into a prepared copperplate, creating recessed grooves that will capture ink. After the plate is inked and its flat surfaces wiped clean, the copperplate is forced through a press against dampened paper. The ink, pulled from inside the lines, transfers onto the paper, printing the incised image in reverse. Engraving has a wholly linear visual language. Its lines are distinguished by their precision, clarity, and completeness, qualities which, when printed, result in vigorous and distinctly brilliant patterns of marks. Because lines once incised are very difficult to remove, engraving promotes both a systematic approach to the copperplate and the repetition of proven formulas for creating tone, volume, texture, and light. The history of the medium is therefore defined by the rapid development of a shared technical knowledge passed among artists dispersed across Renaissance and Baroque (Early Modern) Europe&mdash;from the Rhine region of Germany to Florence, Nuremberg, Venice, Rome, Antwerp, and Paris. While engravers relied on systems of line passed down through generations, their craft was not mechanical.
