Graphic art has an ancient history and covers a large range of printing techniques. Copperplate engraving is considered to be the oldest intaglio-printing technique and was very popular in times gone by, being used by both fine artists and cartographers alike. The most eminent copperplate engravers through the ages include Andrea Mantegna, Albrecht Dürer and Martin Schongauer.
The lithography printing technique ('lithography' being derived from the Greek lithos, meaning 'stone') traditionally uses a stone plate. Invented in 1798, lithography has enjoyed widespread popularity in the world of fine art down to this day.
Many Swedish artists have devoted their talents to the graphic art medium, including the likes of Olle Baertling, Bengt Lindström, Lennart Jirlow, Einar Jolin and the members of the renowned group Halmstadgruppen.
