On Thursday, April 28, printmaker, Andrew Stein Raftery, demonstrated the art of engraving, showing the highly-magnified details of engravings from the past 500 years, including works by Albrecht Dürer, Marcantonio Raimondi, and James Siena. With a close examination in raking light, the tactile nature of these prints and the individuality of each artist’s hand was revealed.
