Book Synopsis
Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) brought the quality of coloring in copperplate engraving and the woodcut to new levels. Print interpretations of paintings made under his direction were a watershed in the development of printmaking as a medium. Relying on a range of carefully selected examples, this book presents an analysis of each step in the printmaking production technique Rubens used in making prints based on his paintings. In addition to woodcuts and copperplate engravings, the specimens examined include oil sketches, paintings, drawings, modellos, and corrected test prints. Like the editions on French and Italian printmaking, the book also includes a complete section on sources organized by topic.
