TL;DR: White as discussed by the authors provides a detailed account of Rembrandt's etchings and their significance within the larger body of the artist's work, and analyzes the technical, stylistic, and iconographic features of selected images.
Abstract: In this updated edition of his highly praised book, Christopher White provides the definitive account of Rembrandt's etchings and their significance within the larger body of the artist's work. With eloquence and deep insight, White analyzes the technical, stylistic, and iconographic features of selected etchings, traces their close relationship with the artist's drawings, and reveals how Rembrandt made the medium his own.Rembrandt was one of the first artists to experiment with the media of etching and drypoint, submitting his plates to numerous reworkings, drawing on impressions, and varying the inking of his plates and his papers. In a detailed discussion of Rembrandt's methods, White shows that the changes and variations Rembrandt introduced often provide a unique opportunity -- not afforded by paintings and drawings -- to observe the artist at work.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of a collection of newly discovered drypoint prints by the artist and patron Gustave Caillebotte, which have been in the collection of the Kunstahlle Bremen, Germany, since 1905, is presented.
Abstract: An analysis of a collection of newly discovered drypoint prints by the artist and patron Gustave Caillebotte, which have been in the collection of the Kunstahlle Bremen, Germany, since 1905. The drypoints have an impeccable provenance, and come from the collection of the Bremen merchant Hermann Henrich Meier Junior (1845–1905). Dating from 1877–1878, these pieces are the only documentary evidence existing of Caillebotte's printmaking practice. However, they are not altogether surprising, since many of the Impressionists whom Caillebotte befriended were intensively engaged with the technique of etching and drypoint.
