watermark: anchor within circle surmounted by 6-pointed star; counter watermark letter A? CRE PARMIGIANINO, Francesco Mazzola; (Italian; 1503-1540) 1st state. Second version of this subject. One of the last etchings Parmigianino did, as well as his largest and most important, an image which was much admired and copied by later Italian artists. It is one of the first masterpieces of the technique of etching. Unlike other early etchers, who imitated the formal, sculptural marks of engraving, Parmigianino approached etching as he did drawing, establishing the natural, sketchy style that became a convention among 17th century etchers. | 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 : CHRIST : NEW TESTAMENT : DEATH : ENTOMBMENT : RELIGION : | 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 |
