Ugo da Carpica. 1518
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The German invention of the colour woodcut caught on in Italy. Ugo da Carpi was the first to use this technique there. The Descent from the Cross after a design by Raphael is one of his earliest prints. The printmaker used two rather than one tone block: one for the light blue sections, and the other for the dark blue shadows.
