About the Item

Netherton Chapel. 1935. Etching. Comstock 53.v. 5 11/16 x 4 3/8 (sheet 8 15/16 x 6 1/2). Edition 85 in this state (total edition 88-89). Illustrated Fine Prints of the Year, 1936; Print Collector's Quarterly 26 (1939): 286. A fine impression on white laid paper with a partial crown watermark. Signed in pencil. Housed in a striking 11 1/2 x 10 7/8 wood and champagne gold frame. According to Comstock "The subject is a small memorial chapel, now much more ruinous than the etching shows, near Bredon Hill in Worcestershire. The quiet simplicity of the little scene bespeaks a love of the countryside, with its countless and often unnoticed small churches and chapels such as this, so appealing in their peaceful settings" (p. 228). Griggs was born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, in 1876. He studied at the Slade School of Art and worked for two years 1896-8 in the architectural office of C.E. Mallows, the architectural draughtsman. He worked in a visionary tradition deriving from William Blake, Samuel Palmer and Edward Calvert. Griggs created 57 prints in all, depicting idealized Gothic buildings and landscapes. He was Master of the Art-Workers' Guild, and one of first etchers to be elected to full membership of the Royal Academy.

View of Camaldoli - Etching by Thomas Lupton - 1833
Located in Roma, IT
View of Camaldoli is an original artwork realized by Thomas Lupton (1971-1873) in 1833. Original etching. In the lower central part there is the inscription "Camaldoli". Good condition. Thomas Goff Lupton was a mezzotint engraver and miniature painter who was the first artist to use soft steel plates in the art of engraving. He experimented with plates of nickel, steel and other metals before producing a satisfactory steel plate. It was well received, and from 1823, steel engravings superseded copper engravings. This development permitted a printing of up to 1,500 mezzotints of excellent quality. The copper plates formerly used were very soft and could produce only around fifty prints of similar quality. Lupton's works include copies of landscape series by J.M.W. Turner as well as engraved portraits after oil...
