 AsKI-Kulturberichte 1/01: Chiaroscuro. Italienische Farbholzschnitte der Renaissance und des Barock
Ugo da Carpi, als Holzschneider in Venedig tätig, hatte 1516 den Senat der Republik um ein Privileg für seine Technik des Farbholzschnittes gebeten mit der Begründung, er selbst habe diese bisher unbekannte Drucktechnik erfunden.
Ugo da Carpi kombinierte bei seinen Farbholzschnitten die Strichplatte mit bis zu drei Tonplatten und entwickelte damit bisher unbekannte Möglichkeiten des Farbdrucks, bei dem er weniger die graphische Struktur einer Bildkomposition als vielmehr ihre malerischen Werte betonte.
Das Medium des Farbholzschnittes gewann dadurch neue künstlerische Möglichkeiten und damit auch das verstärkte Interesse der Sammler, die versuchten, unterschiedliche Farbvarianten der gleichen Darstellung für ihre Kollektionen zu erlangen.

It is a chiaroscuro woodcut—a process involving the use of a line block to print the outlines, and one or more tonal blocks to create areas of color.
Ugo da Carpi claimed to have invented the form.
But Ugo did achieve something new: he emphasized the tonal blocks so that his work looks more like a drawing in ink and wash than a print.

 Airesis : Ars Regia - De Pascalis - Il Parmigianino e l'Alchimia
L’interesse del Parmigianino per l’alchimia è collocato da Vasari in un’epoca ben precisa della vita del pittore, quella più estrema: “Poi si tolse a fare alla Madonna della Steccata una opera grandissima a fresco...In questo tempo si diede all’alchimia, et pensando in breve arricchirne, tentava di congelare il Mercurio...”.
M. Fagiolo Dell’Arco e altri autori prima di lui (1) rifiutano la versione del Dolce ritenendo che essa nascesse da un atteggiamento moralistico: a loro avviso, L. Dolce condivideva l’opinione di quanti nel suo tempo consideravano l’alchimia un’arte eticamente riprovevole, e smentiva di proposito la fama alchimistica del Parmigianino per non screditare la figura dell’artista.
Se da un lato l’alchimia fa studiata o praticata anche da principi e re, dall’altro essa non riuscì a entrare nelle università, dove pure era accolta e insegnata l’astrologia.

 the city of carpi
The name Carpi probably derives from the horn-beam (carpino), a long-trunked tree that heavily featured in the Po landscape during the Middle Ages.
As early as the X century, the area was called a "castle" and was ruled by several families, when Manfred Pius emerged and was given the reign of Carpi by Emperor John of Luxembourg, in 1331.
Later on, Carpi was ruled by the Este family, by the French, by the Austrian and the Este together, up to the coming of the Risorgimento (in which a martyr, Ciro Menotti, from Carpi took part) and the Reign of Italy.

Osley somewhat perversely complains that there is relatively little original in the work--the author admits this freely--and notes that the level of craft is lower than that found in the edition of Arrighi’s La Operina which Ugo published at Rome in 1525, but he nonetheless admits that the work was tremendously successful.
Possibly because Ugo extracted the most useful models of a variety of authors whose complete works would have been both more expensive and ‘padded’ with unwanted material (multiple models of the same script).
Editions are recorded for 1525, 1532, 1535, 1539, 1545, 1547, 1550.) What is more, there appear to be issues within individual editions, though as David Becker has put it somewhat skeptically, “there seem to be as many variants as there are copies”.

During the Renaissance, Venice was an important centre for printmaking and a hub that generated much of the driving force that was to prove critical to the development of wood engraving.
Ugo da Carpi, a painter and wood engraver who migrated to the city of lagoons, was the first to introduce the technique of coloured wood engraving to Italy and became the most well-known representative of this genre.

Thereafter, chiaroscuro became a primary technique for many painters, and by the late 17th century the term was routinely used to describe any painting, drawing, or print that depends for its effect on an extensive gradation of light and darkness.
The technique was first used in woodcuts in Italy in the 16th century, probably by the printmaker Ugo da Carpi.
It is used most often in connection with the work of Leonardo da Vinci and his followers, who made subtle gradations, without lines or borders, from light to dark areas; the...

Il suggerimento arriva in questi giorni dalla Fondazione Ugo da Como di Lonato, che ha aggiunto al consueto percorso all’interno della Casa del Podestà una piccola mostra nella sala bresciana della biblioteca: una selezione di volumi usciti dalla stamperia della famiglia Manuzio.
In vetrina c’è la testimonianza della passione del senatore Da Como per le edizioni rare e antiche, perchè Aldo Manuzio è ritenuto il maggior tipografo del XV secolo, e il primo editore in senso moderno, dato che aveva introdotto tecniche tipografiche ancora in uso.
La collezione aldina presente oggi nella biblioteca della Fondazione Ugo da Como di Lonato è costituita da 95 esemplari, dei quali due sono incunaboli stampati tra il 1497 e il 1594.

Ugo da Carpi lavorò con i principali pittori italiani del suo tempo: a Venezia con Tiziano, dopo il trasferimento a Roma nel 1518 con Raffaello e Parmigianino.
La tecnica della xilografia portata da lui a una prima fioritura fu utilizzata da Antonio da Trento e Niccolò Vicentino.
