| Meer info | The technique of transferring a mezzotint to glass was invented in England in the 17th century, shortly after the development of the mezzotint. The reason was the addition of color to the mezzotint and the aim of getting as close as possible to the impression of a painting. To do this, the mezzotints are thoroughly moistened with water and then briefly dried between pieces of paper. In the meantime, the glass plate is coated with varnish or turpentine and the mezzotint is then pressed onto it. Carefully but thoroughly, the paper is pressed down with the fingers so that only the black ink and few traces of the paper remain on the varnish. This surface is varnished again and then the oil paint gives the work its color. To emphasize the painting-like character, the glass plates were then framed. This technique requires an experienced printer, but was so popular that even amateurs tried it. However, due to the fragility of the image support, examples are rarely found today. The printing process, which is largely unknown outside England, is sometimes confused with reverse glass painting. |
