Oil color print
The oil color printing , colored lithography, also Oleography called or oil pressure, is one in the art of color lithography produced copy (Chromolithographie) of an oil painting or drawing (particularly pastel ). In contrast to original artistic printmaking, the primary goal here is not to produce an original several times (as a print from an original print medium, i.e. from a plate that the artist has worked on himself), but rather to duplicate an image as a reproduction, whereby the impression of a painted original oil painting should be imitated. In order to simulate the impasto of the oil paint brushstroke and the structure of the canvas, an engraved, colorless plate is subsequently embossed.
In 1836 the process was developed by George Baxter (1804–1867). One printing process is necessary for each color. In the final printing process, image structures such as canvas or brushstrokes can also be printed (embossed). If the printed images are coated with varnish , they can no longer be easily distinguished from an original by a layperson.
