GIOVANNI ANTONIO FALDONI
FALDONI WAS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ENGRAVERS OF 18c FLORENCE.
USING HIS OPEN PAGED, BORDERLESS STYLE, HIS WORK EXPANDS AND BECOMES VISUALLY
LARGE
MAKING THE IMAGE THE ONLY THING OF IMPORTANCE. BEING INFLUENCED BY THE 17c
FRENCH
ENGRAVER CLAUDE MELLAN, FALDONI USED A SYSTEM OF PARALLEL LINES OF VARYING
THICKNESS
TO GIVE THE ILLUSION OF PLASTICITY AND CONTOUR, WITHOUT THE NEED OF CROSS
HATCHING
TO GIVE DEPTH. HIS WORK WAS TYPICAL OF 18c NEOCLASSISM AND THE FASINATION WITH
ALL THINGS
GREEK AND ROMAN.
