Inktober - Hessel Gerritsz - Etching

#ruisdael #etching #landscape 

I hope these educational posts are helpful even if its just saving any of my followers or visitors time scrolling thru Google Image Search? Let me if it helped. I wasnt at work today so I got to catch up scheduling the posts but I may have to put this blog on hiatus closer to Christmas. 

I don't have enough followers or Adsense income to make this a full time job so let me know has this blog helped even if just giving you something to enjoy looking at? 

This is Hessel Gerritsz ' Etching of Summer Aetas. It caugh my eye because it reminded me of the some of the Summer theme illumined mansucripts I was looking at earlier this year and last year especially some by simon Bening.  

Gerritsz was one of those artists also notorious for copying other works and for perhaps being too productive and profiting from the interest in prints from the middle classes of the Netherlands who could not afford to commission paintings but wanted artworks for their homes.

INKtober - Rembrandts 3 Trees

 Inktober

Perhaps the most famous example of a Print that is also a Drawing directly onto the Tablet is Rembrandt's Three Trees which combines Etching Engraving and Drypoint in one work.

Inktober and Prints and Drawing.

 Before there were Prints and Tablets and Internet the drawing tablet was often a plate of copper or iron for etching and engraving as well as wooden engravings.

One of the most noted early Netherlandish engravers was Pieter Breughul the Older who before he shifted back to the paintings he is famous for spent about a decade being known for drawings and engravings.

This one is a drawing but it is very typical of his engraving style as he seems to have done drawings copied by others onto engraving plates and this particular drawing shows the the influence of Bosch.

The work is called Desidia - Sloth in English.
