CHIAROSCURO
WOODCUT
Ugo
da Carpi (c.14791532, Italian), after Raphael:
Death of Ananias. c.1520.
Italian-type chiaroscuro woodcut (relief
method) reproducing a wash drawing, printed in
4 blocks of subdued color: yellow-green, dark
and light blue-green and dark gray. The white
highlights (unprinted paper), defining both outline
and modeling, were produced by cutting away all
four blocks in those areas. Note the typical uneven,
almost crude quality of the lines, the printed
border, and the ink squash in the dark gray areas.
