A unique work, in the "estamp" technique. I ask you to learn about the types of estampage separately from open sources, since I am not a specialist in this matter. Therefore, I present a very beautiful ethnic work, which depicts the Ukrainian Christmas with all its mysterious messages and a peculiar presentation of style. They depict a well-known settlement in the western part of Ukraine, which is better known under the extensive name "Carpathians". Special people with an extremely rich cultural heritage and wonderful traditions.
The size of the work including the frame:
Length: 55.5cm (21.85 inches)
Height: 44.5cm (17.51 inches)
The work itself is made on cardboard and protected by glass.
Something about Estamp:
Estamp (from the French Estampe) is a generalized name for works of printed graphics, which is an engraving or any other print on paper from a printing press.
There are four types of embossing: raised (convex) printing, flat printing, gravure printing and screen printing. Convex printing includes xylography, linocut and engraving on cardboard. For flat printing - lithography with all its varieties and monotypes. For gravure printing: etching, incisal engraving, mezzo-tinto, dotting, drypoint, aquatint, reservation, lavis, soft varnish, pencil style. For screen printing - silk printing.
Let's take a closer look at the main printmaking techniques in chronological order.
