David was the most intriguing Genoese print-maker of the 18th century. Like Francisco Goya, his Spanish contemporary, he was a very early practitioner of aquatint, a technique invented in France about 1765. David's free, painterly handling of this type of etching medium, which produces the effect of a wash, created subtle effects of light and atmosphere.
