| The Monotype process is not a new one. Rembrandt is often credited with
creating elements of “monotype” in his use of ink on incised areas of
his
etching plates. Caravaggio and Degas, too, have worked with the
process. But
in the 1640s, it is written, Giovanni Castiglione printed from inks
laid
upon plates entirely without incised line, producing what may be the
first
true “monotype.”
