De kruisafname

The German invention of the colour woodcut caught on in Italy. Ugo da Carpi was the first to use this technique there. The Descent from the Cross after a design by Raphael is one of his earliest prints. The printmaker used two rather than one tone block: one for the light blue sections, and the other for the dark blue shadows.
