Jean François Janinet
Jean François Janinet belongs to the French printmaking tradition of the late eighteenth century, where color aquatint was cultivated as a means of reproducing the soft tonal effects of painting. His subjects tend toward mythological and allegorical scenes rendered with delicate, layered washes of color. The archive holds a single sheet by him, an aquatint from 1783, represented here by The Toilet of Venus.
