From the delicate strokes of Salomon Gessner's "Leda and the Swan" in 1770 to Joseph Wagner's masterful work in "Prisco onor pur dura. . " around 1760, these etchings transport us to different eras. Jacques Bellange's "The Raising of Lazarus" takes us back even further, showcasing his skillful rendering from an era between 1515-1573. The intricate details bring this biblical scene to life, leaving viewers captivated by its emotional depth. Moving forward in time, James Tissot's series on "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" offers a unique perspective with four distinct pieces. Each etching tells a part of this timeless story - from departure to return - inviting contemplation and reflection. Battista del Moro's "The Entombment, " created between 1515-1573, showcases his mastery over light and shadow as he depicts this somber moment with great sensitivity.
