"Winter Fantasy" engraving

About The Etchings and Engravings by John Anthony Miller

The etchings and engravings shown on this website are representative of my skills as executed over the past 22 years. Each piece shown was rendered on 16 gauge copperplate and hand-printed by myself. Each etching or engraving is hand-numbered, hand-signed and titled in pencil beneath the image by myself. No photographic reduction was used in the production of the following image. Each print normally is not printed in an edition larger than 100 to 250 prints. Keep in mind that many of my prints have worn down and the images are no longer as crisp as they once were. This is the nature of original print making and hence the high value of original etchings and engraving. Some of the editions have sold out and are no longer available.

I have made some of my prints available as Giclée prints, which are high quality computer generated prints using archival inks and papers. These are also signed, titles and some are numbered.

This is a small piece I did for Miniature Magazine in 1982. The advertisement for this piece was good and extensive, but it never sold well. Looking back on it, the piece was too complicated. There is a lot of mathematical ratios (golden section) in the little engraving, and I was trying to see how much whorling golden spirals one could put into a piece. I will be posting a mathematical layout on this piece later and then you can decide if I was crazy or not.

"Winter Fantasy" enlarged greatly

There are basically three sections to this piece, a left section, a center section and right section. The composition is also a triangle which is defined by the two dolls in either corner and the apex at the top center edge near the peak of the curtain. I will be posting more information on the composition as soon as I can figure out how to best explain it to the viewers seeing this work.

Now, to see an even larger enlargement of the piece, please click here.
Hopefully you have a fast computer and connection. If not, it may take awhile.
I think you might find it interesting, being that so much detail is in such a small area.
