The Renaissance of Etching
The Renaissance of Etching is a groundbreaking study of the origins of the etched print. Initially used as a method for decorating armor, etching was reimagined as a printmaking technique at the end of the fifteenth century in Germany and spread rapidly across Europe. Unlike engraving and woodcut, which required great skill and years of training, the comparative ease of etching allowed a wide variety of artists to exploit the expanding market for prints. The early pioneers of the medium include some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, such as Albrecht Dürer, Parmigianino, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who paved the way for future printmakers like Rembrandt, Goya, and many others in their wake. Remarkably, contemporary artists still use etching in much the same way as their predecessors did five hundred years ago. Richly illustrated and including a wealth of new information, The Renaissance of Etching explores how artists in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and France developed the new medium of etching, and how it became one of the most versatile and enduring forms of printmaking. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

Souvenirs of Europe
Not every European artist working during the first half of the twentieth century went on to achieve the fame of a Rembrandt or Gauguin. But most were at least able to eke out a living by selling their etchings of landscapes and townscapes, often to tourists and soldiers stationed in Europe during the two World Wars. For many, this meant traveling beyond the borders of their home towns and journeying throughout their own country or neighboring countries to find the most popular tourist landmarks, street scenes, and engaging rural scenery that would make the best etchings and attract buyers. Their etchings ranged in style from sketchy to painterly and from black and white to full color images, always revealing the individual eye and skill of the etchers, many of whom, to this day, are known only by their name, while others remain unidentified. But these works of art are highly collectible and readily found in garage sales, antique malls, auction houses, and online stores. The artists may be gone, but their etchings have stood the test of time.
