About this work
This print with a scene from the epic poem Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem delivered) was made with a goldsmith’s tool. The image is created by means of a punch or a matting wheel, which makes countless tiny pits in the copper plate. When the plate is covered with ink, the pits fill up, leaving black stipples on the paper when the print is pulled.
