About This Book

The author presents six illustrated lectures surveying the development and practice of engraving and etching, tracing early German efforts to Martin Schongauer, the Florentine Italian school, the contributions of Albrecht Dürer and the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet, the Mantegna-to-Raimondi tradition, masters of portrait engraving, and landscape etching. Each lecture combines technical explanation, stylistic analysis, and discussed examples from notable practitioners, accompanied by numerous illustrations and bibliographies to guide further reading.

NOTE

The lectures presented in this volume comprise the twelfth series delivered at the Art Institute of Chicago on the Scammon Foundation. The Scammon Lectureship is established on an ample basis by bequest of Mrs. Maria Sheldon Scammon, who died in 1901. The will prescribes that these lectures shall be upon the history, theory, and practice of the Fine Arts (meaning thereby the graphic and plastic arts), by persons of distinction or authority on the subject on which they lecture, such lectures to be primarily for the benefit of the students of the Art Institute, and secondarily for members and other persons. The lectures are known as “The Scammon Lectures.”
