the visit of an ill aunt brought me, during my stay in Verona, at the Polo Chirurgico (Surgical Pole) of one of the hospitals of Verona. Inside the Polo, my attention was attracted by the exhibition: Il Segno dell'Anima, by Mr. Rino Guandalini. Mr. Guandalini provided me with information about his techniques of painting: aquerello and acquaforte. In particular acquaforte he said is a rare technique, in which a metallic plate is covered by wax which is carved by the artist according to the picture he wants to create. The carved wax is then aggressed by acid which etches the metallic surface, reproducing an etched picture on the slab. Ink on the etched picture permits to reproduce the picture on paper or parchement.
Masters of acquaforte were Albrecht Dürer in Germany and Parmigianino in Italy. Some acqueforti of Mr. Guandalini, showing his unique talent for the landscape and historical landscape, are in the following images. More information about the art of Mr. Guandalini at: http://www.guandalini.it/
