Portrait by Coenraad Lauwers, 1649, engraving. Each produces prints with a distinct look and feel, and many prints are created through a combination of two or more of these processes. Means of producing reproductions of written material or images in multiple copies. There are five traditional intaglio processes: engraving, etching, drypoint, aquatint and mezzotint. In hard-ground etching the plate, usually of copper or zinc, is given a thin coating or ground of acid-resistant resin. The art of engraving with acid on metal also the print taken from the metal plate so engraved.
b : the art or process of executing intaglios. In its narrowest sense, it is an intaglio printing process in which the lines are cut in a metal plate with a graver, or burin. 1 a : an engraving or incised figure in stone or other hard material depressed below the surface so that an impression from the design yields an image in relief. In its broadest sense, the art of cutting lines in metal, wood, or other material either for decoration or for reproduction through printing. Seals and signet rings usually bear intaglio designs, so that when stamped upon wax or other plastic substance the impression is in relief. The design, often a portrait head, is commonly cut in the light-colored vein, and the dark one is left as the background.
, small relief carving, usually on striated precious or semiprecious stones or on shell. It is the reverse of a relief or cameo cameo Intaglio (ĭntăl`yō, –täl`–), design cut into stone or other material or etched or engraved in a metal plate, producing a concave, instead of a convex, effect.
