Rembrandt van Rijn
Although I've written about Rembrandt, to study his etchings it's not unavailing. Over 300 pieces of his etching-oeuvre are almost seems to exhaust all possibilities, from drawing like pen sketches to the well edited pictorial compositions, from the prints with clean white backgrounds to the tonal ones.

Luigi Ficacci:
Piranesi's fantastic worlds
The great 18th century architectural artist and master engraver
Publisher: TASCHEN
Year: 2011
Content: 792 pages
Language: English, French, German
One of the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is best known for his terrifyingly original series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione. In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesi's romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway.

Since some weeks I am industrious, productive and innovative. Above all I am on the track of a quite different and another type of impossible figure,. I can see it for my inner sight. It mixes up what is near and distant in an overwhelming way.. I hope that I perhaps will carry out and realize this "discovery". I have gone through series of trials and errors, but not yet achieved a "credible" result. When I will succeed, perhaps I will be able to draw an inside out Eiffel tower

ex-libris

The first list of symbols of techniques used in creating and printing ex-libris was adopted in 1958 at the Barcelona Congress of FISAE. However, a major revision was needed.
A revised list, given below, was adopted at the XXIX Congress, Frederikshavn DK, in August 2002.
A basic subdivision enables even relatively uninformed collectors to observe an ex-libris and determine in which of the three categories it belongs:
Intaglio - The ink is deposited from the grooves of the plate
Relief - The ink is deposited from the reliefs of the plate
Flatbed/stencil/electronic - The ink is deposited from the flat surface of the plate, through a stencil or screen, or electronically

„Válogatott rajzok. Rajzok papíron, rajzok kövön. A kőre rajzolt rajzok is papírra kerültek, ezek a litográfia nyomatok. A nyomatokból több is készülhetett, más rajzokból egy van. Ez a különbség az egyedi és a sokszorosító grafika között. Mikor melyik, és miért éppen az lesz a technikája, formája egy rajznak? A rajzok többnyire egymásból születnek: a válogatásban az egyfélék készülési évszáma ezért is van viszonylag közel egymáshoz.
Rajzok sokasága látható a honlapomon, fel is merülhet, hogy miért éppen ezek kerültek itt most falra? Itt nincs helye vallani erről, de talán elég annyi, hogy itt ezeket mutatom legszívesebben Szőnyi Mesternek. Volnának persze még további ilyenek, de a mennyiségi korlát miatt meg kellett küzdeni a nagyobb darabszám kísértésével. Szeretem a digitális bemutatást is, szép közelségbe tudja hozni például a rajzi részleteket. Ám az eredetiek mindig újra megmozgatnak, s ilyen, vagy ehhez hasonló hatást remélek kiváltani a nézőkből is. Az anyagi megjelenés, ami felvette a kifejezést, közvetlenül tud szólni ilyenkor.”

The Gurads, 1980
etching, aquatint, paper
380 × 290 mm
HORATIO
Two nights together had these gentlemen,
Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch,
In the dead vast and middle of the night,
Been thus encounter'd. A figure like your father,
Armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe,
Appears before them, and with solemn march
Goes slow and stately by them: thrice he walk'd
By their oppress'd and fear-surprised eyes,
Within his truncheon's length; whilst they, distilled
Almost to jelly with the act of fear,
Stand dumb and speak not to him.

Exhibition: Two Masters of Fantasy
Rodolphe Bresdin
The Good Samaritan, 1861
litography, paper
565 × 445 mm
"Two Masters of Fantasy: Bresdin and Redon" features the prints and drawings of two artists who explored worlds of the imagination, the inner reality of the subconscious, and of dream. The eccentric French printmaker and draftsman Rodolphe Bresdin (1822-1885) created a miniature world dominated by the overwhelmingly intricate web of nature. He was the teacher of Odilon Redon (1840-1916), who was master of blackness in his lithographs and drawings (noirs). Two major drawings (one newly acquired) and a selection of lithographs explore his invented mythologies. The exhibition consists of 40 works drawn primarily from the Museum's collection with a few loans from private collectors.

Boy with a windmill and an old man pulling a cart with a dead body, 1640-1650
Watercolour, pen, dark ink and pencil, paper
235 × 170 mm
This exhibition presents a selection of works on paper – drawings, prints and photographs – acquired by the Museo del Prado between 1997 and 2010. It offers visitors the first opportunity to admire the most important works acquired over this period and which are normally stored in the Department of Prints and Drawings due to their fragile nature. In addition, the exhibition sets out the Museum’s principal strategies with regard to the acquisition of works on paper.
The Museum’s Department of Prints and Drawings, located in the new Jerónimos Building designed by Rafael Moneo, houses the collection of drawings, prints and old photographs that has been built up since the time of the Museum’s founding. Together with the original works from the royal collection, a number of additional groups were added such as those from the Museo de la Trinidad and the Museo de Arte Moderno. Together they constituted the core of this area of the Prado’s collection, which has been expanded over the years, particularly with the addition of the Pedro Fernández Durán Bequest in 1931. It has continued to grow over the years through significant acquisitions, particularly in the period from 1997 to 2010.
For the first time in the Museum’s history the catalogue has only been published in on-line format can download here.

Experimenting
If we have got some free time and a useless cooper plate, we can make some experiment. The best effects has happened when I did another way (left the plate in the acid, thin hard ground, different Iron chloride koncentrate...) many strange and surprising effects. Who has the same experience, or may be explored something interesting please write as a comment.

The details of his life are under some dispute. He apparently came from a samurai background. One theory stated he became a ronin and was forced to turn to art, but another says he voluntarily gave up the life of a samurai for art. In 1781 he received the title Hokkyo for his talent and accomplishments.

etching
355 × 250 mm
A Semmelweis Ignác egykori szülőházában működő Semmelweis Orvostörténeti Múzeum az orvostudomány és gyógyszerészet hazai és nemzetközi történetéből ad ízelítőt. Az állandó kiállítás az ókortól a 20. század elejéig tartó fejlődés tárgyi, művészeti és írásos emlékeit mutatja be, míg az időszaki kiállítások egy-egy különös téma köré csoportosítják olykor meghökkentő, más múzeumokban ritkán látható anyagukat.
A Múzeum Gyűjteményében orvosokról, kutatókról, eszközökről készült rézkarcok, rézmetszetek is megtalálhatóak.
