In Parma and upon his arrival in Rome in 1524, he experimented with print to study works by artists he admired, such as Raphael. He fled Rome at the time of its sack in 1527, and he moved to Bologna. There, he began his engagement with chiaroscuro woodcuts, collaborating with Ugo da Carpi and Antonio da Trento. Parmigianino then returned to Parma in 1530. --- measurements: Sheet: 27.1 x 20.4 cm (10 11/16 x 8 1/16 in.) state of the work: edition of the work: support materials: description: cream(1) laid paper watermarks: inscriptions: inscription: VERSO, lower center, in graphite: 374* /[illegible word] translation: remark: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: Mannerism: Italian, French, and Netherlandish Prints, 1520-1620 opening date: 1997-08-03T00:00:00 Mannerism: Italian, French, and Netherlandish Prints, 1520-1620.

The graphic vocabulary of the day (derived from engraving techniques) consisted of parallel and cross-hatched lines. Etching, a new technique developed around 1510, freed the artist from both the traditional vocabulary of engraving and dependence on reproductive printmakers. Parmigianino used the medium to convey the grace and spontaneity of his pen and ink drawings. Of the twenty etchings attributed to him, this is generally considered his masterpiece. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.10/1985.10_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.10/1985.10_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.10/1985.10_full.tif
