Artist
Milanese 18th Century
1700–1799
Milanese 18th Century was a Romanticism artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist made playful prints that look like real prints. They used copper plates and painted colors on top to trick your eye into seeing depth, sheep, or even a calling card. In *Trompe l'Oeil: Landscapes and Sheep, Using Original Copperplates*, you’ll see hills and flocks printed in black and brown, then touched with soft ochre. Another print shows a calling card pasted right on the paper. Tap *Trompe l'Oeil: Prints with Maria Teresa* to see how they turned flat paper into something that feels three-dimensional.
