German style

edit

According to the Chiaroscurro (sp?) section of our woodcut article, "in the German style one block usually had only lines and is called the "line block", whilst the other block or blocks had flat areas of colour and are called "tone blocks". The Italians usually used only tone blocks, for a very different effect, much closer to the drawings the term was originally used for, or watercolours."

The information on the page comes directly from the sources. He was also from a German family that moved to Italy, so there is a mixing of styles. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:57, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
