Jonathan Spilsbury

Jonathan Spilsbury belongs to the tradition of eighteenth-century British mezzotint, a tonal printmaking technique prized for its velvety darks and soft transitions. His subjects lean toward religious figures and clerical types, as in the example of Two Friars of the Order of Saint Anthony. The archive holds a single sheet by this artist, executed in mezzotint and dated 1766.
