Masterpieces of Western Religious Art Students Learn About Drypoint Prints

Masterpieces of Western Religious Art classes recently studied the drypoint prints created by the famous Dutch painter and printmaker, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. Largely known for his masterful paintings, Rembrandt also created prints using a process called drypoint to create prints of many subjects, including moments in the life of Jesus.

Masterpieces of Western Religious Art students studied the Scriptural accounts of the scenes and then analyzed the prints. To cap their studies, students visited the classroom of ceramics teacher, Chris Roscoe, who demonstrated the process of creating drypoint prints with ink and a press.
