Inked Impressions: Etchings in the Age of Whistler

Drawn from the collection of the Delaware Art Museum, Inked Impressions: Etchings in the Age of Whistler, tells the story of the etching revival in France, Britain, and the United States. The second half of the nineteenth-century saw a resurgence in the printmaking process of etching. Beginning in France and then spreading to Britain and the United States, the reinvigoration of etching led to experimental uses of the medium. This exhibition features the work of pioneering artist-etchers, including James McNeill Whistler, as well as those who inspired him—most notably, Rembrandt van Rijn—and those who carried Whistler’s innovations into the twentieth century.

The exhibition runs from March 1 – July 27, 2025 at the Delaware Museum of Art, 2301 Kentmere Pkwy, Wilmington, DE 19806.
