Description: Andrea MANTEGNA Engraving Virgin and Child (1470-80) etched heliogravure created from an original impression, etched and printed by Amand Durand in France in the 1800s. Outstanding condition after 150 years, from a 19th century book with the protection sheet still attached. Even beyond the specific religious reference and at this small, intimate size, this thrillingly accurate intaglio facsimile of Mantegna's timeless, monumental image stands after 550 years as a profound universal statement on a mother's love for her child. Plate marks: about 6.6 inches tall x 5.35 inches wide; Sheet: 10.6 x 7.45 inches. Shipped in archival glassine in a rigid mailer. Thank you for looking at my lot. I hope you’ll consider checking out my other listings, and enjoy your day!
