Book excerpt: EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY mezzotint is England's chief glory in the history of engraving. In line-engraving and etching England had started a century behind the continent of Europe, and even then much of the best work produced for a considerable period was done by settlers from abroad. With mezzotint, too, the initiative came from abroad, for its inventor, Ludwig von Siegen, was a German amateur, and most of its earliest practitioners were German or Dutch. But very soon after the introduction of the new process, England became the chief centre of attraction to the best mezzotinters of the period, though it was not until the beginning of the eighteenth century that an entirely native school thoroughly vindicated the title of "la Manière Anglaise," by which the art was commonly known before the end of the seventeenth century. Von Siegen's discovery was first taken up by the famous Prince Rupert, and for a considerable period after John Evelyn's notice in his "Sculptura" (1662) of the "New way of engraving, or Mezzo Tinto, invented and communicated by his Highnesse Prince Rupert," fame or flattery assigned to the Prince the actual invention of the art. But though the discovery is now known not to have been his, he is justly famous in the history of the art for the most magnificent of the early mezzotints, the "Great Executioner" (after Ribera), which shows a real flair, and a far finer artistic feeling than anything of Von Siegen. It was no doubt Prince Rupert's interest in mezzotint when settled in England at the beginning of the reign of Charles II, that was the really determining factor in making England the centre of the art. The first century of mezzotint may be treated in a later volume of this series, but in the present place we plunge in medias res, illus- trating the period in which it reached its zenith. Van Dyck was just too early to be represented in contemporary mezzotint, so that the earliest mezzotinters largely reflect the paintings of Lely, Kneller, Vanderbank, and the host of lesser lights (chiefly foreigners) who still carried on the Van Dyck tradition. But the second part of the eighteenth century saw the establishment of a true English school of painting, and the great mezzotinters of this period find half their glory, and nearly all their popularity, in being the noblest translators into the less exclusive medium of engraving of the canvases of Reynolds, Gainsborough, Romney, and Hoppner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining their production practices in a variety of genres?including manuscript illustration, glass painting and staining, tapestry manufacture, portrait painting, and engraving?this book explores how Netherlandish artists migrating to England in the early modern period overcame difficulties raised by their outsider status. This study examines, for the first time in this context, the challenges of alien status to artistic production and the effectiveness of cooperation as a countermeasure. The author demonstrates that collaboration was chief among the strategies that these foreigners chose to secure a position in London's changing art market. Curd's exploration of these collaborations primarily follows Pierre Bourdieu's model of "establishment and challenger" in which dominance in a field of cultural production depends upon how much cultural, political, and economic capital can be accumulated and the effectiveness of the strategies used to confront competition. The analysis presented here challenges received opinion that a collaborative work is only a joint effort of artists working together on a single monument by demonstrating that the participation of patrons and middlemen can also shape the final appearance of a work of art. Furthermore, this book shows that the strategic use of collaboration served the goal of competition by helping to establish foreign artists in the London art market and suggests that their coping strategies have implications for the study of immigrant behaviors today.
