Art Talk: Prints I saw in Amsterdam

While in Amsterdam I saw some great prints. I didn't realize there were so many different methods of make a print. There are the ones I saw:

Etching
Drypoint
Engraving
Linocut
Lithograph

The prints below come mostly from an exhibit at the Rembrandt House Museum and a few from the Rijksmuseum.

Berthe Morisot, The Drawing Lesson, 1889, DrypointPol Dam, Lady in a cafe, 1925, LinocutWallerant VAllant, Portrait of Sophia of the Palatinate, 1656, Etching

Anders Zorn, Rosita Mauri, 1889, DrypointHenri Fantin-Latour, Portrait of Marie Fantin-Latour, the artist's sister, 1897, LithographJames Tissot, Marie Goidet, 1860, Etching

My dad was a painter and I am more familiar with painters and oil, acrylic and watercolors. It is so great to see this medium of printmaking and that many of the painters I am familiar with also made prints.

Edouard Manet, Charles Baudelaire, 1862, EtchingCamille Pissaro, Pesants Carrying Hay, 1900, EtchingRembrandt, Self-Portrait in a cap and scarf, 1633, Etching

Sometimes the artist combined print making techniques.
