Vase with Flowers
J. Waterloos (active c. 1680), mezzotint, hand coloured, c. 1680-1684
The demand for prints of vases with flowers must have been enormous in the 17th century. They were produced in every known printmaking process, including mezzotint. This technique developed only after 1650 and was praised because it approximated the art of painting so closely. This, incidentally, did not apply to the colours: the ones here were added separately by hand.
