Marco Alvise PitteriItalian, 1702 - 1786
Marco Alvise Pitteri developed a printmaking technique in which he employed a series of swelling and tapering parallel lines to capture the subtle tonal gradations of painting and drawings. This method was particularly well-suited for translating the works of Giovanni Battista Piazzetta into prints. A leading artist in Venice, Piazzetta produced altarpieces and intimate genre scenes, as well as designs for book illustrations and beautifully finished chalk drawings for collectors.
