In addition to being vehicles for Christian subjects, engravings, etchings and woodcuts introduced many Europeans to the myths and aesthetics of Greco-Roman antiquity. These innovative printmaking technologies ensured the widespread distribution of figural motifs that fueled the development of Mannerism, which became the dominant style of the Late Renaissance. Mannerism privileged theatrical effects, a unique ideal of beauty and a collapsed perspective, characteristics that especially lent themselves to print reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRenaissance Impressions\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rich survey of this golden age of printmaking through a selection of works from the Kirk Edward Long Collection, one of the world's most extensive private collections of 16th-century prints, with pieces by Michelangelo, Raphael and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Barryte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8836647030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788836647033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvana Editoriale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 9.50w x 1.70d","brand":"Bernard Barryte","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045537280255,"sku":"9788836647033","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f703246-39ee-45db-9eff-efd274165e0b.jpg?v=1684979337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renaissance-impressions-bernard-barryte-9788836647033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
