Descriptive catalogue of an exhibition of engravings by the early Italian masters from Maso da Finiguerra to Marc-Antonio Raimondi, with special emphasis placed on the work of Andrea Mantegna
A 1912 descriptive catalogue from New York by Richard Ederheimer, listing an exhibition of early Italian engravings from Maso Finiguerra to Marc-Antonio Raimondi with emphasis on Andrea Mantegna. The plates reproduce prints of mythological and religious scenes, with figures in dense, crosshatched line. A designer might take from them the compact, rhythmic handling of tangled bodies and the way engraved line builds tone without wash.
