Emile Pierre Metzmacher, Cherries Ripe, Peter Lightfoot
"Cherries Ripe!", by Emile Pierre Metzmacher; engraved by Peter Lightfoot; genuine engraving on steel, printed on high quality heavy stock paper; published by Selmar Hess, NY 1888, signed in plate.
Emile Pierre Metzmacher [Paris, 1815-1890], French artist specialized in genre and portrait painting.A student of Boulanger, Gleyre and Willems, Metzmacher debuted at the Salon in 1863. He obtained honorable mentions for his work in the years 1879 and 1889.
Peter Lightfoot [1805-1885], English line engraver. One of his pupils was Thomas Vernon (1824? - 1872).
The main characteristic of a steel engraving is that it has a very sharp, hard-edged, precise image. The computer scan can only give a very general impression of the detail. During the printing process, the steel plate does not need so much pressure as the copper plate, therefore, the steel plates do not leave a deep impressed area in the paper like the copper plates do.
Artwork will be mailed unframed.
