Artist

Sacchetti

Sacchetti is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Sacchetti carried a thin wooden box full of copper plates wherever he walked, stopping in piazzas to etch passersby between sips of espresso. His prints feel like snapshots—soft light on a wrinkled collar, a child’s mitten half-zipped—captured in a minute, not a pose. Swipe to find one of his best in the Harry Beard Print Collection; each sheet is the size of a postcard and costs a day’s bread, but the detail will slow you down.
