Description: | RU inscr. in pencil b.l. "27 / 9620 / G266"; inscr. in pencil b.r. "Le Moulin". Verso: collector's mark of R.Gutekunst (Lugt 2213 a) CRE JACQUE, Charles Emile; (French; 1813-1894) PRINT DELATRE, Auguste; Paris (French; 1822-1907) Guiffrey states that there were 20 impressions. Dating from the late 1840s, this print seems to be evidence of the method of printing with surface tone developed by Auguste Delatre, who started out as printer for Charles Jacque at Barbizon. The effect of evening sky is not part of the drypoint work on the plate, but results from the film of ink deliberately left on the plate surface in printing. Delatre bagan as a labourer printing for Jacque at Barbizon on Jacque's press. He later set up independently in Paris as a printer of etchings, and he demonstrated this method to Whistler in 1858 when printing the 'French Set'. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FIGURE : LANDSCAPE : WINDMILL : NIGHT : TONAL PRINTING : ARTISTIC PRINTING : BARBIZON SCHOOL PRINT : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
