# Venus Reclining in a Landscape, in 16th-century Italy

Giulio Campagnola made this in about 1508–9, aged about 26. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> The Venetian artist Giulio Campagnola introduced the "dot manner," an engraving technique by which shading is created with dots and flicks produced with the point of the burin. This innovation allowed for a much greater range of tone and subtler gradations from dark to light.
