Engraving is a printmaking process where lines are cut into a metal plate to hold ink. The plate can be made of copper or zinc. The metal plate is first polished to remove scratches and imperfections, ensuring that only intentional lines will be printed. An artist uses a burin, a specialized cutting tool, to incise the design into the plate. Ink is applied to the incised lines, and the plate is pressed onto paper to create a print. Engraving is an intaglio technique, meaning that the ink sits below the surface of the plate. Engraving has been used for centuries to create detailed illustrations, decorative prints, and currency. Famous artists like Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt were skilled engravers. Modern examples are almost invariably made from copperplates, hence the term “copperplate engraving.” Artists continue to use engraving for its expressive qualities and intricate details. Engraved prints are highly collectible and valued for their craftsmanship. Contemporary artists explore engraving alongside other printmaking techniques, combining traditional methods with modern sensibilities.
