As a way to bring the past and the present into active dialogue, artistic engravings play a special role in the course of history. Beyond its ability to facilitate its reproduction, engraving is an art form that represents beauty and patience, the perfection and simplicity of the line, and the merging of drawing and technology. Many works of art have been created using engraving techniques over the centuries, including some of the most brilliant works by famous artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, George Braque, and Marc Chagall, among others. The vintage engravings offered for sale in Bidsquare's online auction include works that symbolise historical and creative developments.

The act of engraving combines physical strength, tactile sensitivity, and bodily engagement to mark a matrix - each mark or line is profoundly affected by movement, depth, and pressure. Creating the illusion of volume and texture through progressive differences in lines requires extreme precision to achieve consistency throughout passages. A close connection exists between what an artist holds in their hands, what they create, and the purpose they hold for their work. In spite of its resistance and difficulty, engraving can achieve a level of precision and detail unmatched by any other manual art form. 

Antique Engravings

The engraving technique was popular for reproducing fine art images on paper and for illustrations for books until the mid-19th century. With the 16th-century master Albrecht Dürer, engraving reached its pinnacle with precision and tapered lines that achieved great tonality. As beautiful as they were when they were made, antique engravings today still have their exquisite designs and details. In addition to being masterpieces in their own rights, antique engravings are a glimpse into a moment in time and connect us to places we hold dear, our cities and towns, our ancestry, our rich histories, and our shared heritage. Aside from being affordable and lovely, antique engravings can even be quite valuable and are acceptable ways to give your walls a sense of historic beauty.

Despite new techniques constantly being invented, engraving continues to be an essential form of art. Art movements of the 20th century that still stand as innovative, expansive, unpredictable, and diverse to this day are credited with the realization of works using engraving techniques.
