Title:	The Fountain of Love
Artist:	Fitzgerald, C. (England, active, 1890 - 1910)
Date:	c. 1900 - 1910
Medium:	Original Mezzotint Printed in Colours
Note:	From approximately 1900 to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, British art witnessed its last great flowering of the art of the mezzotint. One hundred years earlier such great masters as Richard Earlom, Valentine Green and David Lucas had elevated the English mezzotint to its highest level. As the Victorian era commenced, however, the pure mezzotint was overshadowed by both the mixed method engraving and by mass production techniques such as steel engraving and lithography. Mezzotinting was both labour intensive and very artistically demanding. As well, very few impressions could be pulled from the delicate mezzotint plate. British mezzotints from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are even more technically demanding as most were printed in colours employing multiple plates.
	An English painter and mezzotint artist, C. Fitzgerald was known for his genre, sentimental and mythological subjects as well as for several landscapes and topographical views. A number of his mezzotints were based upon the designs of either 18th century and early 19th century British painters (such as Constable) or the old masters. These were usually printed in complex ranges of tones and colours and were exhibited throughout Britain in both the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century.
