Walter Valentini (1928) - Le tracce del tempo

Acquaforte aquatint by Walter Valentini created for Ed. Lions Club Pergola. The traces of time, 2015. Aquatint on Magnani paper from Pescia.

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