| Summary | "Four Masters of Etching" by Frederick Wedmore is a detailed art monograph written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the lives and styles of four significant etchers—Seymour Haden, Jules Jacquemart, J. A. M. Whistler, and Alphonse Legros—examining their contributions to the art of etching and how they navigated its principles and techniques. The subject matter reflects both biographical elements and a critical analysis of the etching process, providing insight into the artistic merit of each featured artist. The opening of "Four Masters of Etching" presents a preface that outlines the book's intent and the author's perspective on etching as an art form. Wedmore acknowledges the limitations of his overview compared to broader studies but defends the focus on four pivotal figures whose work signifies key developments in modern etching. He introduces Seymour Haden, highlighting his energetic and spontaneous approach to the medium and suggesting that understanding his work involves recognizing this temperament. Overall, the beginning sets up a framework for in-depth explorations of each artist's techniques, philosophies, and influences, promising a rich examination of their artistic legacies.
