This is a wonderful use of printmaking and painting in the same work, and it’s good to have more proof that artists were uninterested in maintaining borders between image-making processes centuries ago, as today. Some may think that artists followed strict rules governing an approach to media in order to conserve a standard of purity, or perhaps verite, rather than do what we’ve always done: experiment and invent tools and processes in the studio that serve our vision of the work, and find methods that help us realize our ideas for imagery in the best possible way.

Amazing, 1600s and already so advanced in terms of techniques and creative processes…the camera wasn’t such a necessary invention after all.
