Welcome...

Artworldprint.com is a web-site devoted to modern print and “manière noire” or “mezzotint”.

Artworldprint.com permanently presents Jacques Callot, the famous 17th century French engraver who founded modern print.

Lucien APELGOT and Marc WAYS used to be gallery owners. They both have a passion for modern and antique prints. On this web-site, we present contemporary prints and particularly “manière noire” or “mezzotint”.

We present continuously the world’s greatest contemporary artists as well as creators who are –though still underrated– immensely talented. Some of these engravers come from Eastern Europe, whereas other ones come from the far end of the world. We will give greater place to quality than to quantity. It is essential for us to maintain high standards of publication. Among our choice of prints, we will do our best to present out-of-print works and sketches.

We wish to be a place where engravers and amateurs can meet each others.



Jacques Callot has been a passion for over 30 years. We want to give this ingenious engraver an important position on our web-site Artworldprint.com. All the prints presented here are authentic and come with a certificate of authenticity, thus committing our responsibility to you.

There will be updates on a regular basis and we will share our discoveries with you. We will be happy to answer all your questions by e-mail. We can also send you any document in regard to a specific engraver, including a bibliography or the copy of a print before you decide whether to make a purchase or not. The web-site artworldprint.com is entirely secured. No credit card number appears on the site and every transaction is made directly with our bank.

With complete peace of mind you can now indulge in your favorite passion, your love for engraving. To do so, just visit our shop.
