1795
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Waramus Arch Bishop of Canterbury is a 1795 by Francesco Bartolozzi, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a close-up portrait of a man wearing a dark, fur-lined hat and a light-colored robe with a high collar. His face is serious, with a round shape and a bit of stubble. The fur trim on his hat and robe looks soft and rich, while his skin tone is pale with a slight shadow under his nose. The top of the print says "Waramus ArchB: Cant," which hints this man might be an important figure. The artist signed it and noted it was based on an original drawing by Hans Holbein. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how this strong light-and-shadow effect works.
Francesco Bartolozzi (21 September 1727 – 7 March 1815) was an Italian engraver, whose most productive period was spent in London. He is noted for popularizing the "crayon" method of engraving.
