The Life Class of the Vienna Academy. Artist: Johann Jacobe (Austrian, Vienna 1733-1797 Vienna); After Martin Ferdinand Quadal (Austrian, 1736-1811). Dimensions: sheet: 25 1/2 x 31 3/8 in. (64.7 x 79.7 cm). Date: 1790.Members of the Vienna Academy are represented sketching, painting, and sculpting from a live model. Quadal, who specialized in portraits and animal subjects, sits sketching in the right foreground. Jacobé taught mezzotint--an intaglio technique in which subtle gradations of light and shade form the image--at the Vienna Academy. Thanks to his professorship, Vienna produced the only significant school of mezzotint artists in the late eighteenth century outside of London. This impression is a proof, a step in the working process, and the names of the artists had yet to be engraved on the plate. They were added by hand in brown ink in the bottom margin.
