A list of printmakers is a compilation of artists renowned for their mastery and innovation in , an artistic technique that involves transferring inked images from a matrix—such as a woodblock, metal plate, or stone—onto surfaces like paper or fabric to produce multiple impressions. Originating with prints during China's in the seventh century, the practice spread globally, reaching by the late fourteenth century where it flourished during the . Key historical figures include , who in the early sixteenth century elevated to an independent art form through his precise engravings and s, and Rembrandt van Rijn, whose seventeenth-century etchings expanded the medium's expressive range with innovative use of light and shadow. In the twentieth century, artists like produced over two thousand prints across seven decades, exploring techniques from to to reinterpret classical themes and contemporary subjects, while revolutionized screenprinting in the 1960s, employing it as a core medium for his iconic series that commented on consumer culture and celebrity. This list spans eras, regions, and styles, highlighting individuals who advanced 's technical possibilities and cultural impact, from ancient methods to modern digital influences.

Pre-1500 Printmakers

East Asian Printmakers

Printmaking in originated in during the (618–907 CE), with emerging around the for reproducing and images. The technique involved carving text and illustrations in reverse onto wooden blocks, inking them, and pressing against the surface to create impressions. Most early works were anonymous, produced by craftsmen in monasteries or workshops, focusing on religious and educational content rather than individual artistic expression. The earliest surviving printed document is a fragment of a dharani sutra from , dated to c. 650–670 CE. A landmark achievement is the , a woodblock-printed Buddhist text from 868 CE, discovered in the . Printed by Wang Jie for free distribution, it features an illustrated and represents the maturity of woodblock techniques by the Tang-Song transition. This , measuring about 5.5 meters long, exemplifies the medium's role in disseminating scripture across Asia. In the (960–1279 CE), innovations advanced the field. (c. 990–1051), a scholar, invented printing around 1040 CE using fired clay characters, allowing rearrangement for different texts, though it was labor-intensive for Chinese script and largely superseded by woodblocks. Documented by in 1088, Bi Sheng's method laid groundwork for later developments. By 1193, Zhou Bida used clay to print Notes of the Jade Hall, a collection of poems. In the (1271–1368 CE), Wang Zhen (fl. 1290–1332) improved wooden , using it in 1298 to print a 60,000-character local gazetteer, The Book of Agriculture, which included illustrations of farming techniques. Korea adopted and refined these techniques during the dynasty (918–1392 CE). Woodblock printing arrived early, with the Pure Light Dharani Sutra dated to c. 704–751 CE. Metal movable type emerged in 1234, credited to Ch’oe Yun-ŭi, a government official. The oldest extant book printed with metal type is (1377 CE), produced at Heungdeok Temple by Buddhist monks, containing excerpts from teachings. This work demonstrates the precision of Korean metal type, predating Gutenberg's press in . In , began in the for Buddhist purposes. (718–770 CE) commissioned the Hyakumantō Darani (c. 764–770 CE), a massive project printing one million small scrolls housed in pagodas, distributed nationwide for merit. Early Japanese prints remained primarily religious and anonymous until later periods. These East Asian developments emphasized for spiritual and scholarly dissemination, influencing global .

European Printmakers

European printmaking before 1500 primarily involved woodcuts and early engravings, emerging in the late amid growing demand for affordable religious images and the rise of the . Most works were anonymous, produced in workshops across , , and the , serving devotional, educational, and decorative purposes. Techniques spread via trade routes, with woodcuts appearing first for textiles and playing cards before single-sheet images and book illustrations. Woodcut, the earliest method, involved carving relief images into wooden planks, inking the raised surfaces, and printing onto paper, often hand-colored afterward. The oldest known European woodcut is a devotional image from c. 1370–1400, possibly from Italy or Germany. Notable anonymous examples include the Madonna of the Fire (c. 1410–1420), a small Italian woodcut miraculously preserved from a fire, depicting the Virgin and Child, and the Buxheim Man of Sorrows (c. 1420–1430), a German print showing Christ with realistic details achieved through fine carving. These crude yet expressive works, typically 10–20 cm tall, were mass-produced for pilgrims and the illiterate faithful. By the 1460s, woodcuts illustrated incunabula (early printed books), as in the Pietà (c. 1460, southern Germany), integrating text and image. Engraving, an intaglio technique derived from goldsmithing, developed in the 1430s in , using a burin to incise lines into plates for inked printing under pressure, allowing finer details and tonal effects via cross-hatching. The anonymous (fl. c. 1425–1435) produced the earliest dated engravings, including card suits and religious scenes, marking the shift to artistic prints. Active in the region, this master's works show Gothic stylization with emerging naturalism. The Master E.S. (c. 1420–1468), an unidentified German goldsmith-engraver from the , signed and dated his works, producing about 300 engravings, including The Visitation (c. 1450–1460). His innovative use of dotted shading and ornamental borders elevated 's expressiveness, influencing later artists; he is considered the first major named printmaker in Europe. Martin Schongauer (c. 1445–1491), from (modern /Germany), was the preeminent engraver north of the Alps before Dürer, creating around 115 plates known for their intricate line work and dramatic compositions. Trained as a painter, his Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons (c. 1470–1475) uses dense to convey torment and light, blending Northern Gothic with Italian influences from his travels. Schongauer's prints, often devotional series, were widely copied and exported, establishing as a . These early European printmakers, though few named, pioneered techniques that exploded post-1500, bridging manuscript illumination and while enabling broader cultural access.

1500–1800 Printmakers

Italian Printmakers

Italian from 1500 to 1800 flourished during the , with artists advancing techniques like fine-line and to reproduce and innovate upon the era's monumental paintings and architectural visions, often within the contexts of Roman and Venetian art academies. These developments allowed for the widespread dissemination of ideals, blending technical precision with artistic expression in both original and reproductive works by artists born or primarily active in . In the Venetian school, woodcuts emerged around 1516 as a pioneering color print technique, using multiple woodblocks inked in different tones to mimic the and shadow effects of drawings and paintings, providing depth and tonal contrast in . This method, patented by Ugo da Carpi (c. 1480–c. 1530) in , highlighted the school's emphasis on tonal modeling and color harmony, influencing reproductive prints that captured the style of Venetian masters. Meanwhile, the Roman school excelled in fine-line , a meticulous intaglio process where artists incised detailed lines into copper plates to replicate the compositions of painters like , fostering collaborations between painters and printmakers in the papal academies. Andrea Mantegna (c. 1431–1506), active in and later influential in early 16th-century , pioneered Italian with his innovative use of cross-hatching to achieve spatial depth and classical motifs, as seen in works like The Virgin and Child (c. 1505), which bridged and print through precise, sculptural line work. (c. 1480–c. 1534), a key figure in the Roman school, revolutionized reproductive by translating Raphael's designs with unprecedented fidelity and tonal subtlety, producing series such as The Judgment of Paris (c. 1517–1520) and (c. 1511–1514), which employed innovative shading techniques to convey narrative drama and emotional intensity. In the era, (1720–1778), trained in and based in , elevated for architectural vedute, combining it with to create dramatic, imaginative depictions of Roman ruins in series like Vedute di Roma (1748–1778), where bold lines and intricate details evoked the grandeur and decay of antiquity, influencing neoclassical design.

German Printmakers

German printmakers during the 1500–1800 period, particularly in the , excelled in and techniques, producing expressive and narrative works that conveyed religious, moral, and allegorical themes with remarkable precision. Active primarily in regions like , , and , these artists elevated from a reproductive craft to an independent art form, influencing the dissemination of ideas across through affordable, portable series of prints. The school, centered in , became renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship, where artists like refined tools such as the burin—a sharp, lozenge-tipped implement used in —to achieve fine lines, tonal gradations, and intricate textures on copper plates. Martin Schongauer (c. 1445–1491), though active just before 1500 in (then part of the ), laid foundational techniques for later German engravers through his innovative use of the burin to create deeper lines and varied strokes, allowing for more impressions before plate wear and enabling painterly effects like crosshatching for shadows. His engravings, such as Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons (c. 1470s), featured vivid linear patterns and modeled forms that demonstrated engraving's potential for tonal richness, impacting subsequent artists by serving as models for painters and sculptors throughout Europe. Schongauer's work, produced in the region, emphasized narrative depth in religious subjects, setting a precedent for the detailed, allegorical prints that defined German output in the following century. Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), born and active in Nuremberg, Bavaria, epitomized the Nuremberg school's precision in both woodcut and engraving, mastering the burin to incise copper plates with exceptional subtlety in line and texture, far surpassing earlier limitations in tonal range. In woodcuts, he designed relief images carved by specialists, as seen in his influential series The Apocalypse (1498), which combined dramatic narratives with book-like illustrations to spread Reformation ideas; for engravings, works like Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513) and Melencolia I (1514) showcased moral allegories through intricate details, such as the armored knight's resolute posture amid symbolic threats or the contemplative angel surrounded by tools of intellect. Dürer's prints, often produced in multi-sheet series like the Large Triumphal Carriage (c. 1518–1522), not only established his international reputation but also advanced color woodcuts by incorporating chiaroscuro effects, influencing the export of German techniques to other regions. Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553), based in , , after an early period in , contributed to German printmaking through woodcuts and s that supported Protestant themes, utilizing woodcuts—printed from multiple blocks for tonal contrast—to produce expressive, narrative series. Notable examples include (c. 1509), a depicting the saint's burden with dynamic lines influenced by Dürer, and as an Augustinian Monk (1520), an that propagated portraits through his large workshop's efficient production. Cranach's prints, focused on religious and courtly subjects in central , impacted the era by making ideological imagery widely accessible, with over 100 s and s from his studio reinforcing moral and devotional narratives in the 1500s.

Dutch and Flemish Printmakers

Dutch and Flemish flourished during the 1500–1800 period, particularly in the of the 17th century, when artists from the innovated in and intaglio techniques to capture dramatic lighting, intimate daily life, and expansive landscapes. Centers like in and in the became hubs for collaborative printshops, where publishers played crucial roles in disseminating works through engravings, s, and woodcuts. These prints often emphasized atmospheric effects and realistic depictions of the countryside, distinguishing them from more ornamental styles elsewhere. Early developments in the were led by artists such as Lucas van Leyden (c. 1494–1533), a Dutch engraver from who produced around 175 prints, including innovative like Maximilian I (c. 1520), which demonstrated newfound freedom in draftsmanship using the recently adopted etching technique. Prints after Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516), a Dutch painter from 's-Hertogenbosch, were created by engravers and etchers in , such as Hieronymus Cock's publication of The Temptation of St. Anthony (c. 1550s), adapting Bosch's fantastical visions into reproducible intaglio formats that influenced later narrative series. In , the school thrived under publishers like Hieronymus Cock (1518–1570), who issued the influential Master of the Small Landscapes series (1559, reprinted 1612 in ), featuring etched rustic views that pioneered detailed topographic landscapes. Philips Galle (1537–1612), a Flemish engraver based in , contributed significantly through reproductive prints after masters like , such as The Triumph of Time (c. 1574), which used fine intaglio lines to convey moral allegories with intricate detail. Galle's workshop exemplified collaborative roles, producing engravings for export across . Transitioning to the 17th century, Dutch artists advanced further; Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) from employed woodcuts and engravings for naturalistic scenes, as in Landscape with Cottage (c. 1597–98), blending Flemish influences with innovative tonal effects. Jan van de Velde II (c. 1593–1641) specialized in etched rustic views, capturing everyday life in works like those in the Pleasant Places series (c. 1612, published by Claes Jansz. Visscher in ), emphasizing intimate, atmospheric compositions. The pinnacle of these innovations came with Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), the preeminent Dutch etcher of the , who produced approximately 350 prints using and to achieve painterly depth and dramatic lighting. His (c. 1648) exemplifies this mastery, depicting a multifaceted biblical scene with subtle tonal gradations that convey emotional intensity and light effects through intaglio techniques. Rembrandt's studio also involved pupils in print production, fostering a network similar to Antwerp's earlier models. Hercules Seghers (c. 1589–c. 1638), another Dutch innovator, experimented with on unusual papers for moody landscapes, influencing Rembrandt's approach to tonal variety. Publishers in , such as those reissuing Flemish series, supported this shift toward original, expressive prints of Dutch life and scenery. Though primarily French, (1592–1635) exerted French-Flemish influence through his etched series like The Miseries and Misfortunes of War (1633), which shared intaglio techniques for narrative drama with artists, impacting wartime depictions in the region. Overall, these printmakers from the elevated from reproductive tool to expressive medium, with and as vital collaborative centers.

French Printmakers

French printmaking from 1500 to 1800 evolved under royal patronage, emphasizing courtly engravings that served aristocratic tastes and reproductive prints that disseminated the works of leading painters. emerged as a key technique, prized for its fluid lines that allowed artists to capture spontaneous, expressive forms, while precursors to began experimenting with tonal effects in the late . The Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, founded in 1648, profoundly shaped this development by establishing rigorous training, hierarchical genres, and salons that promoted as a means to reproduce and elevate paintings for wider audiences. Jacques Callot (1592–1635), active primarily in and before returning to France, stands as a pioneering etcher whose innovations in the medium influenced subsequent generations. Trained initially as a , Callot developed techniques like the échancrure (hard-ground with a swollen line) to achieve intricate details in large-scale prints, enabling complex compositions without the rigidity of . His ties to are evident in works like the Balli di Sfessania series (ca. 1621), theatrical scenes depicting performers with dynamic, crowded figures that blend drama and social observation. Callot produced over 1,400 etchings, including the seminal Miseries and Misfortunes of War (1633), a sequence documenting the Thirty Years' War's horrors through vivid, empathetic vignettes. Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665), a foundational French painter based in Rome, contributed indirectly to printmaking through reproductive engravings and etchings of his classical and religious canvases, which the Académie promoted to define French artistic ideals. These prints, often commissioned by patrons, faithfully captured Poussin's balanced compositions and moral themes, such as in Étienne Baudet's etching of Landscape with the Funeral of Phocion (ca. 1660s), which reproduces the painter's harmonious integration of figures and architecture. Engravers like Gérard Audran (1640–1703) and François de Poilly (1623–1693) specialized in these reproductions, using burin techniques to mimic Poussin's precise modeling; over 35 such prints survive from the mid- to late-17th century, aiding the dissemination of his influence back to France. Poussin's own limited print involvement underscores how printmakers bridged painting and graphic arts under academic auspices. In the , (1684–1721), a master of fêtes galantes, inspired a wave of rococo etchings after his paintings, emphasizing decorative elegance and fleeting pleasures for courtly circles. Watteau himself etched sparingly, as in Recruits Going to Join the Regiment (ca. 1715–16), where quivering lines evoke whimsical movement, but his drawings were extensively reproduced by followers like (1703–1770), who created over 100 etchings for Jean de Jullienne's L’Oeuvre d’Antoine Watteau (ca. 1727–1735). These include genre scenes like The Pleasures of Summer, blending pastoral idylls with fashionably attired figures, and reflect aquatint precursors through soft, atmospheric shading. The Academy's emphasis on drawing proficiency encouraged such reproductive efforts, tying Watteau's painted reveries to print's intimate scale and fostering rococo's ornate, aristocratic aesthetic. Later 18th-century French printmakers, influenced by Flemish etching traditions of loose, expressive lines, advanced genre prints that captured everyday elegance and theatricality. Figures like Jean-Baptiste-Marie (1713–1789), an , produced etchings such as The Chinese Masquerade (1735), showcasing whimsy with costumed revelers in fluid, spontaneous forms. These works, often tied to paintings exhibited at the Salons, exemplified the period's shift toward tonal experimentation, laying groundwork for aquatint's rise around 1770.

British Printmakers

British printmakers active between 1500 and 1800 played a crucial role in advancing intaglio and techniques, particularly through satirical that offered sharp social critiques and innovations that achieved unprecedented tonal subtlety for portraits and dramatic subjects. Emerging in the wake of continental influences, these artists from the focused on moralistic and humorous narratives, often embedding commentary on urban vices, class disparities, and natural observation within accessible printed formats. This era marked London's rise as a hub, where techniques like allowed for detailed line work in social satire, while provided velvety gradations from dark to light, mimicking effects. William Hogarth (1697–1764), a London-based painter and engraver, epitomized the satirical etching tradition with his moral allegories targeting 18th-century British society's excesses. Self-publishing his works to retain control and reach a broad audience, Hogarth employed and on plates to create intricate, narrative-driven series that decoded contemporary follies through visual clues, such as symbolic objects and exaggerated figures. His seminal (1735), an eight-plate sequence, traces the fictional Tom Rakewell's inheritance-fueled descent into debauchery, gambling, imprisonment, and madness, critiquing themes of , , and institutional failures like Bedlam asylum. This work, along with earlier pieces like (1732), not only popularized sequential storytelling in prints but also influenced public discourse on ethics and reform, with each plate measuring approximately 35.5 x 31 cm for intimate yet impactful viewing. Parallel to Hogarth's line-based satires, flourished in Britain as a tonal technique, refined after its 17th-century introduction from the continent, enabling printmakers to produce soft, painterly reproductions that captured light and shadow with remarkable fidelity. The process involved rocking a plate to create a uniform burr for deep blacks, then scraping and burnishing to highlight areas, allowing for subtle flesh tones, drapery, and atmospheric depth—qualities that suited both formal portraits of elites and occasional humorous "drolls." Key figures like John Smith (1652–1743) advanced the medium by producing over 140 mezzotints after portraits by between 1689 and 1721, establishing London as the epicenter of the craft by the early 18th century; later practitioners, including James McArdell (1729–1765) and Valentine Green (1739–1813), extended its use to reproductive prints of historical and contemporary subjects, disseminating images of notables for public consumption. Though primarily associated with portraiture, mezzotint's tonal versatility occasionally supported satirical elements, as seen in publishers like Robert Sayers issuing lighthearted scenes. In the realm of relief printing, (1753–1828), a self-taught engraver from in , transformed into a precise art form for book illustration, emphasizing with meticulous detail and subtle wit. Apprenticed at age 14 to metal engraver Ralph Beilby, Bewick innovated by cutting on the end-grain of hard boxwood blocks with fine burins, achieving crisp lines and textures comparable to copper engraving while allowing integration with —a practical advantage over intaglio methods requiring separate presses. His vignettes, often moralistic tailpieces depicting rural life and human folly, added layers of commentary to his scientific works, blending observation with gentle satire on industrialization's encroachment on nature. Notable examples include the woodcuts in A General History of Quadrupeds (1790), which cataloged animals with Linnaean precision, and A History of British Birds (vol. 1, 1797; vol. 2, 1804), featuring over 600 illustrations like the detailed and plates, praised for their lifelike charm and habitat vignettes that evoked Britain's countryside. Through these publications, co-printed with Beilby, Bewick not only popularized among middle-class readers but also elevated wood engraving's status, influencing 19th-century illustrators with his emphasis on authenticity over stylization.

Spanish Printmakers

Spanish printmaking from 1500 to 1800 developed primarily through copperplate engraving, influenced by Flemish techniques introduced by immigrant artists, and focused on reproducing religious iconography for Catholic devotion and designs. These prints often depicted saints, the Virgin Mary, and martyrdom scenes, serving both local and dissemination across the amid the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on visual piety. Centers like and emerged as hubs, with attracting Flemish engravers who adapted their skills to Spanish religious themes, while 's court supported grand architectural and devotional reproductions. One of the earliest major projects was the series of engravings documenting the Royal Monastery of , commissioned in 1584 by architect Juan de Herrera (1530–1597) and executed by Flemish engraver Pieter Perret (c. 1555–c. 1625), who worked in . Perret's twelve large-scale copperplate engravings, published between 1589 and 1600, captured the monastery's facade, interiors, and altarpieces, marking the introduction of monumental copperplate techniques in for religious and royal propaganda. These works emphasized Catholic grandeur through detailed renderings of vaults, icons, and Eucharistic symbolism, influencing subsequent reproductive prints of sacred spaces. In the , became a key center due to its role as a port for trade and artistic exchange, fostering a school of engravers who specialized in devotional images for religious texts and confraternities. Flemish-born Pedro de Campolargo (c. 1605–1687), active in from around 1640, produced engravings of Marian icons such as Nuestra Señora de los Reyes, blending Northern precision with Spanish Baroque emotionalism to aid private prayer and processional . His works, often small-format for broad distribution, highlighted Catholic like crowned Virgins and angelic attendants, reflecting 's vibrant religious culture. Jusepe de Ribera (1591–1652), a native based in but trained in , stands as the preeminent 17th-century Spanish printmaker, producing around 18 etchings noted for their tenebrist and focus on religious suffering. His The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew (1621, ) exemplifies this, portraying the saint's flaying with raw intensity to evoke pathos, while The Poet Onager (1628, ) and The Blind Old Man (1622, ) explore human frailty through biblical and lenses tied to Catholic moral teaching. Ribera's innovative techniques, combining deep burr lines for shadow and fine for texture, elevated as an expressive medium beyond mere reproduction. By the late , Madrid's Real Calcografía (founded 1789) institutionalized under royal patronage, but earlier independent efforts laid the groundwork. Francisco de Goya (1746–1828), in his pre-1800 phase, pioneered satirical yet thematically linked prints with (1799, 80 and ), precursors to his later series critiquing superstition and folly. Though not strictly religious, early plates like El sueño de la razón produce monstruos (No. 43) incorporated Catholic iconographic elements such as demonic visions and inquisitorial shadows, using copperplate to blend Enlightenment critique with traditional devotional motifs from Madrid's artistic circles. Goya's technical mastery in for tonal depth influenced subsequent Spanish reproductive of altarpieces and sacred narratives.

East Asian Printmakers

East Asian from 1500 to 1800, centered in during the (1603–1868), developed the genre of woodblock prints depicting urban life, theater, courtesans, and landscapes from the "floating world" of pleasure districts. Collaborative production involving artists, carvers, printers, and publishers made these affordable images popular among the merchant class, evolving from monochrome to full-color techniques. While and Korea focused on woodblock illustrations for books and , Japan's individual designers gained prominence in fine art prints that influenced later global aesthetics. Hishikawa Moronobu (c. 1618–1694), active in (modern ), is regarded as the founder of printmaking, producing over 100,000 designs in the 1670s–1680s, primarily black-and-white woodcuts of beautiful women (), actors, and daily scenes that popularized the single-sheet format for mass consumption. His works, such as The Courtesan and Attendants (c. 1680s), captured the vibrancy of 's entertainment districts with fluid lines and narrative detail, establishing as a commercial art form. Okumura Masanobu (1686–1764), an Edo-based innovator, advanced color printing in the with benizuri-e (two-color prints) and (lacquer-lacquered for gloss), introducing Western linear perspective (ukei) to create depth in depictions of actors and urban views. His series like Beauties Washing Alms Bowls (c. ) blended traditional with novel techniques, producing over 20,000 designs that expanded ukiyo-e's visual repertoire. Suzuki Harunobu (1725–1770) transformed in 1765 by inventing (brocade prints), using up to 10 woodblocks for full-color gradations and subtle tones, focusing on poetic, intimate scenes of youths and women. His Girl Reading (c. 1766) exemplifies this refinement, with delicate and harmonious compositions that emphasized elegance and everyday tranquility, influencing the genre's shift toward refined, colorful expression before 1800.

1800–1899 Printmakers

European Printmakers

European printmaking in the 19th century saw the rise of lithography, invented in 1798 by Alois Senefelder, which allowed for more detailed and reproducible images compared to earlier engraving techniques. This period featured artists using etching, aquatint, and lithography to explore romanticism, social commentary, and realism across the continent. Francisco Goya (1746–1828, Spain), a pivotal figure bridging the 18th and 19th centuries, produced influential etchings and aquatints critiquing society and war. His series Los Caprichos (1799) used aquatint to satirize human follies, while The Disasters of War (1810–1820), an 80-etching series, documented the Peninsular War's horrors with raw, unsparing detail. Goya's innovative use of aquatint for tonal effects influenced later printmakers. In , (1808–1879) excelled in , producing over 4,000 lithographs that satirized French society and politics. Works like Gargantua (1831) depicted King Louis-Philippe as a glutton, leading to legal repercussions, and highlighted lithography's role in social critique during the . (1798–1863) also advanced with dramatic illustrations, such as his series (1826–1827), blending romantic themes with expressive lines. Germany's (1815–1905) used for historical scenes, notably in The Army of (1840–1850s), combining detailed observation with narrative depth. In Britain, (1775–1851) employed for landscapes in Liber Studiorum (1807–1819), emphasizing light and atmosphere. These artists expanded printmaking's expressive range amid industrialization and political upheaval.

American Printmakers

American printmaking in the 19th century relied heavily on and the emerging to document , urban life, and , often for books, magazines, and affordable art. dominated early, while , introduced around 1820, enabled color and . (1785–1851), a French-American naturalist, revolutionized printing with (1827–1838), featuring 435 life-size, hand-colored lithographs of birds in dynamic poses, based on his field sketches. Printed in and , the double-elephant folio edition (39 x 26 inches) became a landmark, influencing scientific illustration and conservation awareness. Winslow Homer (1836–1910) began his career as a wood engraver for from 1857, translating his sketches into black-and-white illustrations of American life, such as Civil War scenes and rural activities. His early prints, like A Bivouac of the Guards (1862), captured realism and narrative, bridging illustration and fine art before he focused on painting. The firm of (active 1835–1907), founded by and James Ives, produced over 7,500 lithographic prints depicting American scenes, from cityscapes to historical events. Affordable "prints for the people," such as The Life of a Fireman (1854), used hand-coloring for vibrancy and promoted national pride during expansion. These works reflect printmaking's role in shaping visual culture amid the .

Latin American Printmakers

Latin American in the developed primarily through in , where it served commercial, satirical, and social purposes amid independence movements and modernization. Fine art prints were limited, with influences from European techniques, but Mexico led in popular graphics. José Guadalupe Posada (1852–1913, ), often called the father of Mexican , worked as a lithographer from the , creating broadsides (calaveras) with zinc-plate and woodcuts. His skeletal figures satirized politics and society, as in La Calavera Catrina (c. 1910, but rooted in late 19th-century style), blending indigenous motifs with European caricature to critique the elite. Posada's affordable prints reached wide audiences, influencing later revolutionary art. Manuel Manilla (ca. 1830–ca. 1895, ), a contemporary and occasional collaborator with Posada, produced similar lithographic broadsides on , death, and daily life. His works, often unsigned and mass-produced, featured bold lines and humor, contributing to Mexico's popular print tradition during the era. In , printmaking was more commercial, with limited examples; artists like Henrique Bernardelli (1834–1932) occasionally used , but the medium lagged behind in prominence. These efforts laid groundwork for 20th-century activism in print.

East Asian Printmakers

During the , East Asian printmaking was dominated by Japan's tradition, which reached its zenith before undergoing transformations amid the Meiji Restoration's modernization efforts starting in 1868. Japanese artists continued to produce woodblock prints depicting landscapes, daily life, and historical scenes, while incorporating subtle Western influences in perspective and subject matter toward the century's end. In , printmaking during this period focused more on folk traditions like pictures, with fewer individual artists gaining prominence in prints comparable to ukiyo-e; however, figures like (1864–1957) emerged in the late 19th century, initially through that later influenced his 20th-century woodblock reproductions. These works not only captured local but also facilitated cultural exchange, as Japanese prints were exported to Europe after the 1850s, inspiring the movement among Western artists. Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) stands as one of the era's most influential masters, renowned for his innovative landscapes and dynamic compositions produced primarily in the early to mid-19th century. His series (c. 1830–1832), featuring bold colors and dramatic perspectives, exemplifies the woodblock technique using multiple color blocks for vibrant effects. A seminal work from this series, Under the Wave off Kanagawa (also known as The Great Wave, c. 1831), depicts a towering wave threatening boats near , symbolizing nature's power and becoming one of the most globally recognized prints due to its export and reproduction. Hokusai's output, exceeding 30,000 designs, emphasized realism and movement, influencing subsequent generations of printmakers. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) complemented 's style with poetic, atmospheric landscapes that highlighted seasonal changes and travel scenes, solidifying ukiyo-e's focus on nature during the mid-19th century. His landmark series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–1834) documented the eastern sea route from to through 55 woodblock prints, using subtle gradations of color (via techniques like bokashi for fading inks) to evoke mood and transience. Hiroshige produced over 8,000 prints in his career, many exported via , contributing to ukiyo-e's international appeal and its role in portraying Japan's pre-industrial beauty. As the century progressed into the Meiji era (1868–1912), ukiyo-e evolved to reflect Japan's rapid Westernization, with artists like Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892) bridging traditional and modern themes through woodblock prints that incorporated historical drama and contemporary events. Yoshitoshi, considered the last great ukiyo-e master, produced series such as One Hundred Aspects of the Moon (1885–1892), featuring innovative compositions with moonlight effects achieved through layered woodblocks. During this time, traditional woodblock printing persisted alongside the adoption of Western techniques like lithography, introduced in the 1870s for commercial posters and newspapers, allowing faster production and incorporation of photographic realism. This hybrid approach extended ukiyo-e's lifespan, paving the way for the shin-hanga revival in the early 20th century by blending collaborative woodblock methods with new color palettes and subjects. The era's prints, often exported in large quantities, underscored East Asia's artistic continuity amid globalization, with Japanese works particularly impacting European aesthetics through their exotic motifs and technical precision.

Australian Printmakers

Australian printmaking during the 1800–1899 period emerged primarily through the efforts of immigrant artists who documented the colonial landscape, urban development, and themes using techniques influenced by British traditions. became the dominant method, enabling the reproduction of maps, topographic views, and sketches that captured the rapid settlement of , , and surrounding regions. Early presses in , established by emancipists and convicts, produced the first local prints around 1812–1814, while Melbourne's lithography scene expanded in the 1850s amid , supporting illustrated newspapers and books. These works often highlighted natural harbors, , and early interactions with , providing visual records of colonial expansion. John Skinner Prout (1805–1876), a British artist and lithographer, arrived in in 1840 with his family and a lithographic press, establishing one of the colony's earliest professional printing operations. He taught art at Sydney College and produced over 20 lithographic views in his 1844 publication Sketches in Australia, including detailed depictions of Sydney Harbour, , and Tasmanian landscapes during his 1841–1842 travels. Prout's works emphasized topographic accuracy and , such as his etchings and lithographs of coastal scenes and indigenous portraits, like those of Tasmanian Aborigines encountered in . His press facilitated local reproduction of colonial imagery, influencing subsequent artists in documenting 's diverse terrains. Augustus Earle (1793–1838), an English painter and the first European artist to work extensively in , introduced to in the early using a press imported by Governor Brisbane. Active from 1825 to 1828, Earle created lithographic sketches of life, indigenous groups, and exploratory voyages, including views of and interactions with Aboriginal communities during his travels with Governor Darling. His technique allowed for portable, on-site drawing transferred to stone for printing, capturing the raw colonial environment and contributing to early ethnographic records. In , Samuel Thomas Gill (1818–1880), a British-born who settled in the in 1852, became a prolific lithographer, producing hundreds of views for newspapers and books that illustrated the goldfields, urban growth, and outback exploration. Working with local presses like Ham's of , Gill's lithographs, such as those in The Australian Sketchbook (1865), depicted miners, indigenous figures in bush settings, and Melbourne's , blending topography with narrative scenes of colonial hardship and discovery. Charles Troedel (1836–1906), a German immigrant who arrived in in 1864, founded one of the city's leading firms, Troedel & Co., which operated until the early . Specializing in high-quality reproductive prints, maps, and illustrations, his press produced topographic works like views of Melbourne's ports and Victorian landscapes, supporting government surveys and commercial publications during the colony's expansion. Troedel's technical innovations in color advanced the medium for documenting exploration routes and urban infrastructure. Elizabeth Parsons (c. 1831–1901), an English-born artist based in from 1870, was among the few women active in colonial , producing etchings and lithographs of Australian , landscapes, and domestic scenes. Her works, exhibited at the Victorian Academy of Arts, incorporated indigenous botanical motifs and exploration themes, such as coastal views near her home, reflecting a growing local artistic identity.

(1891–1942), a Regionalist, turned to late in his career starting in 1937, creating works like Tree Planting Group (1937) that idealized rural Midwestern life and conservation efforts during the era. His 19 lithographs, printed in limited editions of 250, tied into by promoting agrarian values amid economic turmoil. Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) explored early prints and drawings in the 1920s and 1930s, using unconventional materials like fabric scraps and foil for textured collages that depicted elongated human figures, foreshadowing her abstract sculptures. These pre-1960 works, such as Untitled (1928) in red chalk, bridged social realism's focus on the body with emerging abstraction, serving as precursors to abstract expressionism through layered, mystical forms. Inclusion in this era prioritizes U.S.-born or -based artists active before 1960 whose prints engaged social themes, from Ashcan urban grit to WPA advocacy.

Latin American Printmakers

Latin American during the 1900–1960 period, particularly in and , extended the principles of muralism into accessible social graphics, emphasizing political , , and revolutionary themes through affordable techniques like woodcuts and linocuts. This era saw printmakers respond to post-revolutionary upheavals and nationalist movements, using prints to document oppression, celebrate indigenous heritage, and promote social reform across and . In Mexico, Diego Rivera (1886–1957) played a pivotal role, adapting his muralist style to printmaking, especially lithography, to disseminate revolutionary ideals. Returning from Europe in 1921, Rivera co-founded the periodical El Machete in 1924, where he contributed prints that addressed agrarian struggles and indigenous rights, such as Emiliano Zapata and His Horse (1932), a lithograph depicting the revolutionary leader on horseback, symbolizing resistance against land exploitation. His works often drew on indigenism, portraying Mexico's pre-Columbian past and rural laborers to foster national identity and social justice. The Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP), established in in 1937 by artists including Leopoldo Méndez (1902–1969), Luis Arenal (1908/9–1985), and Pablo O’Higgins (1904–1983), became a cornerstone of socially engaged . This produced woodcuts and linocuts for political posters, books, and broadsides, focusing on anti-fascist messages and , as seen in the portfolio Prints of the Mexican Revolution (1946), comprising 85 linocuts by 16 artists that chronicled revolutionary events and indigenous struggles. Techniques like allowed for bold, high-contrast imagery suited to mass dissemination, extending muralism's monumental scale into portable formats that reached working-class audiences. In , printmakers such as Cândido Portinari (1903–1962) and Lasar Segall (1891–1957) incorporated indigenist and social themes, influenced briefly by European Cubism's geometric forms. Portinari, known for his engravings, created prints depicting rural Brazilian life and coffee workers, blending modernist abstraction with nationalist motifs to highlight social inequities. Segall, a Lithuanian-born artist who settled in São Paulo in 1923, produced woodcuts and lithographs exploring urban poverty and indigenous landscapes, such as his series on Brazilian dwellers, using expressive lines to convey emotional depth and cultural hybridity. (1886–1973), a foundational figure in Brazilian modernism, contributed to the graphic arts through illustrations and designs that echoed indigenist themes in the Anthropophagic movement, though her primary output remained painting.

Amaral's banana series (1967–1975), produced via and , depicted the fruit as a phallic of oppressive power and economic exploitation, circulated covertly to evade censorship while commenting on the regime's brutality and corruption. Post-1970s workshops in , such as those affiliated with experimental graphic collectives in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, fostered collaborative intaglio and poster production, enabling artists to document torture, disappearances, and resistance movements during the dictatorship's later years. In , following the 1973 coup and Augusto Pinochet's regime (1973–1990), printmakers drew inspiration from grassroots textile workshops to create intaglio editions that visualized abuses, including forced disappearances and economic hardship; these efforts, often produced in clandestine Santiago ateliers after the mid-1970s, amplified calls for justice and memorialized victims through reproducible broadsides. Figures like Guillermo Núñez (b. ) incorporated in etchings to subtly critique state violence, aligning with broader graphic activism that supported international campaigns. Contemporary South American printmakers have increasingly integrated eco-activism into their practice, addressing intertwined with colonial legacies and political legacies of dictatorships. In , Alejandro Meitin (b. 1978) employs silkscreen and in collaborative projects with Ala Plástica, producing posters and installations that protest and water contamination in the , linking ecological crises to ongoing social inequities rooted in post-dictatorship neoliberal policies. Brazilian artists, building on workshop traditions, continue this vein through graphic collectives that use linocuts and digital hybrids to advocate for Amazon preservation, as seen in editions responding to violations amid expansion. In , post-Pinochet printmakers have turned to intaglio to depict climate-impacted landscapes, such as glacial melting, framing eco-activism as an extension of struggles against extractive industries that echo dictatorship-era exploitation.
