About this work
Like the two prints on this wall at the right, this etching features a mix of Italian and northern elements. The trees with their mossy branches are reminiscent of those by the German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, who made the first landscape etchings around 1520. De’ Valentinis was one of the earliest Italian artists to use the graphic qualities of the etching technique to create landscapes.
