⁠The first step to a printed engraving is carving the reversed image into a polished metal plate. A sharp metal tool called a burin to gouges lines into the surface. Once carved, ink is spread over the surface. The smooth areas of the plate are then wiped clean leaving ink only in the carved grooves. A damp paper is placed on top of the inked plate and run through a press, transferring ink to the paper. Because the sharp burin allows the artist to finely control the thinness of lines, engraving proved an excellent medium for the high level of detail characteristic of Albrecht Dürer, probably the first famous printmaker in European history. #BKMWorksonPaper⁠⠀

lindairaggilarsen george widener artist magic squares from amp.theguardian.com Jun 17, 2013 · Widener not the first artist to use magic squares in art, nor to play with dates in one. In fact, Widener's magic square below is well known to mathematicians since it appears in Melencolia 1 by Albrecht Dürer, the Renaissance print whose date you will never forget since it is registered in the bottom line: 1514.
