Walter Valentini (Pergola, 22 October 1928 – Milan, 20 May 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, internationally recognized in the field of graphics and engraving.
As with the plates, the graphic works are not smooth surfaces: with a refined drypoint 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 those of the plates; only the technique varies: ranging from aquatint to etching and drypoint.
