David and Goliath. Artist: After Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio or Santi) (Italian, Urbino 1483-1520 Rome); Ugo da Carpi (Italian, Carpi ca. 1480-1532 Bologna). Dimensions: Sheet: 10 3/8 × 15 3/8 in. (26.3 × 39 cm). Date: 1510-30.Early chiaroscuro woodcuts involved printing with two or more woodblocks, each in a different hue, to attain light and dark tonal values similar to those achieved in wash drawings. Ugo da Carpi was the first Italian artist to use this technique. He claimed to have invented a new way to print in "light and dark" (chiaro et scuro), though German artists had started experimenting with similar woodcuts several years prior. To protect his "invention," the Venetian Senate granted Ugo an exclusive privilege in 1516, and he also received a papal privilege in 1518. In this print, Ugo used three blocks--a keyblock inked in black for the outlines and two tone blocks inked in different shades of green. The subject is based on a design by Raphael, whose name appears alongside U
