Title: Raphael, Dürer, and Marcantonio Raimondi
Description: "Lisa Pon focuses on encounters between the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi and three key artists, describing how Marcantonio copied Albrecht Durer's woodcuts, collaborated with Raphael to create printed masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, and was featured in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists. She demonstrates various ways the tensions between possessive authorship and practical collaboration in the visual arts arose and were played out: in the collision between legitimate copying and artistic originality: in the parallels between the hand-drawn trace and the printed line: and in the consideration of printmakers within a series of artists biographies." "This book reframes the analysis of both the production of prints and the relation between printmaker and artist during a crucial period in European art."--BOOK JACKET.
