Canaletto was also accomplished in which printmaking technique?
Woodcut
Lithography
Etching
Screenprint
Answer
Etching, a printmaking technique, was Canaletto's other area of expertise. In this process, a metal plate is covered with wax, and the artist scratches through the wax to create the desired design. The plate is then immersed in acid, which etches the exposed metal, creating lines that will hold ink. When the plate is printed, the ink is transferred to paper, resulting in a detailed and precise artwork.
