Featured Bought some drawing collotype's (produced 1896)

Unsure if this is of interest to anyone but I am a sucker for these and can get lost in them for hours so thought i'd share some of them in case anyone else found them interesting.

Some of them are very nicely hand colored.

Reproductions of course but the best type of reproduction of 1/1 drawings in my opinion.

 

One of my Rubens. Hand colored.

 

I'd not seen that Dürer before.

Debora

 

Thats my greatest joy with these, finding works I never knew about.

 

I do have a 1000+ of these so if anyone wants me to post more pictures in case they may discover some new art I could do that. Just let me know if so and i'll post them here.

 

I think many of us would like to see more of your personal favorites.

 

Here comes a few more.

 

And perhaps my favorite:

 

My favorite is the Madonna with the Animals, especially these guys:



Also the School of Cranach head studies & the very weird 'Allegorical Representation.' Still pondering what it represents.

When I was young it seemed like every fifth house had a print of the Praying Hands on the wall. You are most definitely not the only person who likes it.

 

Very nice. I really like old artworks that are stylistic Renaissance or Baroque. Although I try to collect originals I sometimes buy prints from modern times, but printed with the original plates/woodblocks. This is an example from 1911, but printed with the original woodblocks from the 16th and 17th century. These woodblocks are still in Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp. In de 1970’s the woodblocks were treated against wood worms with a toxic substance, so they need to be handled with care now.
