Dutch Winter Landscape with Windmills and Skaters

Ludovic Napoléon Lepic, 1870 - 1880

Ludovic Napoléon Lepic is one of the original French Impressionists. He painted, but was also an innovative printmaker. He only deemed an etching to be art when the printmaker printed his own copper plate and inked it in different ways. He called this method ‘l’eau-forte mobile,’ or variable etching. The impressions displayed here demonstrate what he meant. The differences are exclusively due to various ways of inking the plate.
