Abstract: presents 15 pieces from the period of innovation unleashed by German artist Jakob Christoffel Le Blon's breakthrough in the use of color in the 1720s. The resulting printed paintings and engraved drawings, as they were called, allowed the middle classes to hang on their walls replicas of art works found in the mansions of aristocrats and royalty.
