Matthaus Greuter - Obelisken in Rome
Summary
Zeven obelisken te Rome: de Obelisco di Villa Medici, de Obelisco Macuteo, de Obelisco Matteiano, de Obelisco Esquilino, de Obelisco Vaticano, de Lateraanse Obelisk en de Flaminische Obelisk. Bij elke obelisk een bijschrift in het Italiaans. Prent maakt deel uit van een album.
Printmaking in woodcut and engraving came to Northern Italy within a few decades of their invention north of the Alps. Engraving probably came first to Florence in the 1440s, the goldsmith Maso Finiguerra (1426–64) used the technique. Italian engraving caught the very early Renaissance, 1460–1490. Print copying was a widely accepted practice, as well as copying of paintings viewed as images in their own right.
