Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mezzotints A book such as the present one has naturally a tendency to fall into the form of a catalogue, and in this form it is Of the greatest value to collectors. But as an introduction, and possibly an incentive, to the taste for mezzotints, a few general criticisms and appreciations may yet have their value. Great collectors have their Chaloner Smith to refer to. The only objection to that inestimable book is that it does not give a small plate of every. Print mentioned in it. In time all such catalogues will have to be fully illustrated, and show a picture of each state of each print, and then they will have their full usefulness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engravings in Mezzotint The original picture is in the possession of the Earl of Dudley and hangs in his town residence in Carlton Gardens; it is apparently identical with the work described in Smith's l'catalogue Raisonne, No. 76 as in the possession of Mr. Smith Owen, at Condover in 1827.

It is one of Greuze's most attractive heads and ranks equally with any of those in the Wallace Collection and in the Louvre. Greuze's reputation tovday chie y rests on his single heads and figures of young children and of girlhood just budding into womanhood, in all of which simplicity is blended with a voluptuous grace unexcelled by any other artist, French or foreign.

In the sleepy little town of Oasterby there was not much done on a Saturday afternoon in June. Many of the shops in the High Street and the Market Place closed at two. There was no business down at the yards and the wharves on the riverside. The great arms of the windmills had sunk into their Sabbath quietude. The streets were deserted; but from the Open doors of every public-house came a buzz of tongues, a clang of pewter-pots, a whiff of strong tobacco, which showed that a fairly large number of the male inhabitants of Gasterby had betaken them selves to their favourite haunts and their favourite occupation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fine Prints The study of engravings, ancient and modern - of woodcuts, line engravings, etchings, mezzotints - has become by this time extremely elaborate and immensely complicated. Most people know nothing of it, and do not even realise that behind all their ignorance there is a world of learning and of pleasure, some part of which at least might be theirs if they would but enter on the land and seek to possess it. Few men, even of those who address themselves to the task, acquire swiftly any substantial knowledge of more than one or two depart ments of the study; though the ideal collector, and I would even say the reasonable one, whatever he may actually own, is able, sooner or later, to take a survey of the larger ground - his eye may range intelligently over fields he has no thought of annexing. From this it will be concluded - and concluded rightly - that the print-collector must be a specialist, more or less. More or less, at least at the beginning, must he address himself with particular care to one branch of the study. And which is it to be? The number of fine Schools of Etching and Engraving is really so considerable that the choice may well be his own. This or that master, this or that period, this or that method, he may select with freedom, and will scarcely go wrong. But the mention of it brings one.

Sherwin's first print is dated 1669. 'there were a number of en gravers at this period who were success ful in producing good work, the most noted being Place, Cascar, Blootelling, Valek, and J.

This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Exhibition of Mezzotints From Von Siegen to Barney Exhibited There are historical associations which give to the present exhibition an appropriateness of its own in time of war. The technical process which it illustrates was invented by a soldier. The most renowned of the works of art in its earlier annals was produced by another. It was Ludwig von Siegen, a Hes sian oflicer, whose experiments as an eu graver brought the mezzotint into being. This martial amateur, substituting the scraper for the burin and the needle, added a new idiom to the language Of the print maker. He was not, himself, a creator Of aesthetic beauty. The portrait of the Land gravine Amelia Elizabeth, through which he announced his discovery, at Amsterdam, in 1642, is not, precisely, a lovely thing. But it pointed the way to great achievements and to that extent it holds forever a position of honor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book John Raphael Smith written by Arthur Mayger Hind and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Raphael Smith: And the Great Mezzotinters of the Time of Reynolds The enormous prices that have been realised by mezzotint in recent years have of course only gone for brilliant impressions in perfect condition, and the quality of impression is a more important factor with mezzotint than with engravings in any other process except dry-point. In fact the rarity of good impressions in the case of both mezzotint and dry-point comes from the same reason, the delicacy of the burr which gives to both their deep velvety tone. Twenty or thirty printings may be quite enough to wear down this burr, and leave the later prints as mere ghostly reminders of their former glories. In spite of this many of the most famous plates, such as J. R. Smith's Mrs. Carnac, and John Jones's Miss Kemble (c. S. Have yielded thousands of impressions. The Mrs. Carnac in particular, which is still in the possession of Messrs. P. And D. Colnaghi, has been reworked from time to time with such skill that even some modern impressions are effective. But they have almost lost all relationship with the original work, so drastic have been the restorations, and their value is negligible on that account. Modern photogravure gives marvellous results in reproducing the tone of oil-paintings. But as a photo-mechanical process that relies on etching for the work on the plate there is a complete absence of the rich burr that lends mezzotint its incomparable qualities of texture and tone.
