Guglielmo Morghen

Guglielmo Morghen is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Guglielmo Morghen made crisp black-and-white prints in the late 1700s and early 1800s. His engravings copy famous paintings so closely you can count the folds in a cloak or the petals on a rose. In Venus disarming Love you see the goddess gently taking Cupid’s bow and arrows, the scene frozen in sharp lines and deep shadows.

If you like the crisp detail of old engravings, tap Venus disarming Love to zoom in on every etched line.
