Main themes
The course considers the place occupied by engraving in the history of art but also the way in which this medium has contributed to the creation of new visual cultures (religious, scientific, political....).
The course also brings to light the paradox of engraving, described at one and the same time as the most intimate creative medium and as the one with the widest distribution.

| 1 |
Acquisition of knowledge of the history of engraving and of the printed image from the Early Modern to the contemporary periods; acquisition of vocabulary relating to the techniques studied and of knowledge of the historical and theoretical issues relating to the art of engraving. |
Content
After giving a clear definition of the concepts of engraving and the printed image, the course studies the different uses of engraving, from the Early Modern to the contemporary periods. At the same time as examining the position engraving has held in critical and theoretical discourse in the periods covered, the course will also present the different functions it has performed over time.
The course is structured around a chronological and thematic approach to the history of engraving, but does not leave out the major personalities connected to the medium. The course reveals the diversity of the medium; diversity of techniques, of uses and of forms.
