It shows Goya before a grave illness of 1793 that would compromise his vitality. Drawn with a blunt pen in distinct marks, the self-portrait was used to engrave the frontispiece for the third edition of Goya's suite of lithographs illustrating bull fights, La Tauromaquia (1876).

alb3671017 Satyrs Admiring the Anamorphosis of an Elephant. Artist: Hans Troschel (German, Nuremberg 1585-1628 Rome); After Simon Vouet (French, Paris 1590-1649 Paris). Dimensions: sheet: 9 9/16 x 13 9/16 in. (24.3 x 34.5 cm). Date: 17th century.This engraving, originally pasted onto the so-called Vouet Scrapbook (inv. 45.97, fol. 78), is based on a drawing (Hessisches Landesmuseum-Graphische Sammlung, Darmstadt) by the great virtuoso painter and draftsman Simon Vouet, who was deeply interested in this particular form of anamorphosis, know as catoptric. Set in a pastoral landscape, the scene depicts a group of astonished satyrs observing a cylindrical mirror--a primitive culture before it was enlightened by science. The distorted, unreadable drawing is revealed to be the image of an elephant when clarified in the reflection of the cylindrical mirror. Vouet's design originally served as a frontispiece for the second edition of Jean Fraçois Niceron's "La Perspective curieuse" published in Paris in 1652, which was the most famous treatise on anamorphosis. The Museum owns the first edition of Niceron's treatise, inv. 41.100.450(2). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3670105 Frontispiece to 'Le sorti di Francesco Marcolini da Forli intitolato Giardino di Pensieri'. Artist: After Marco Dente (Italian, Ravenna, active by 1515-died 1527 Rome); Giuseppe Salviati (Giuseppe Porta, called Il Salviati) (Italian, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana ca. 1520-ca. 1575 Venice). Dimensions: sheet: 9 7/16 x 7 5/8 in. (23.9 x 19.3 cm). Date: 1540.This woodcut of a scholarly gathering is fully signed by Giuseppe Salviati yet is an almost exact copy of an engraving by Marco Dente, who died in 1527. The only changes are the adaptation of the book in the foreground to represent Marcolini's fortune-telling book and the addition of the pack of cards required for divination. That Giuseppe so prominently signed a copy suggests that he cut the block himself-indeed, it was usually the cutter rather than the designer who signed or monogrammed a woodblock.

Dimensions: plate: 7 x 10 in. (17.8 x 25.4 cm)sheet: 8 9/16 x 11 5/8 in. (21.7 x 29.5 cm). Date: May 23, 1812.Turner distilled his ideas about landscape In "Liber Studiorum" (Latin for Book of Studies), a series of seventy prints plus a frontispiece published between 1807 and 1819. To establish the compositions, he made brown watercolor drawings, then etched outlines onto copper plates. This is one of the few instances where Turner also developed the tone, here using mezzotint to detail an image of glacier developed from sketches made in Switzerland near the St. Gothard pass. Working experimentally, he rocked only part of the plate to create the darks, rather than following conventional mezzotint practice, where the plate is rocked completely, and highlights creates by scraping and burnishing. The "M" in the upper margin refers to Turner's category of Mountainous landscape. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
