Isaac Jehner
Isaac Jehner is represented in this archive by a single mezzotint, The Triumph of Bacchus, a subject drawn from classical mythology and rendered in the tonal, velvety manner characteristic of that intaglio technique. Mezzotint, which works from dark to light by scraping and burnishing a roughened plate, suits the dramatic modelling of such a scene. The collection holds one sheet by the artist, printed in 1776, with impressions up to that year.
