Gautier D'Agoty four color mezzotintDescription
Jacques Fabien Gautier D’Agoty (1717-1786) was the assistant to Jacob Christian Le Blon, inventor of printing in color, and gave us perhaps the most magnificent art in the history of medicine.
D’Agoty adapted those techniques to his medical illustrations by using a four-color process. He continued the tradition of medical anatomy as an art form through his color mezzotints. This example (ca 1759) are plates I and II joined together from "Exposition anatomique de la structure du corps humain."Dimensions
