Empire of Prints: The Imperial City of Augsburg and the Printed Image in the 17th and 18th Centuries

  • This text briefly outlines how Augsburg developed into a centre of European printmaking in the 17th century and how it kept this role till late into the 18th century. Main points of interest are the various steps involved in printmaking, the interaction of printmaking with other branches of art and craftsmanship, the way Augsburg prints were pivotal in spreading the Rococo style beyond the confines of France and the change of taste occurring during the second half of the 18th century and partially responsible for the decline of Augsburg print culture into insignificance. This is the slightly revised version of a text which was first published in a Spanish translation ('El imperio del grabado: La ciudad imperial de Augsburgo y la imagen impresa en los siglos XVII y XVIII', in: Almerindo E. Ojeda, Alfonso Ortiz Crespo [ed.]: De Augsburgo a Quito: fuentes grabadas del arte jesuita quiteño del siglo XVIII, Quito 2015, pp. 17-66).
