Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, recognized internationally in the field of graphics and engraving.
Like the plates, graphic works are not smooth surfaces: with a refined drypoint etching technique, Valentini presses the paper so that the design remains raised relative to the plane. The subjects of these engravings are the same as those of the plates; only the technique varies: from aquatint to etching to drypoint.
