This densely packed book spans 25 years of the artist’s extensive travels the length and breadth of Italy and is filled with her intensely observed tiny drawings. Anne Desmet specialises in wood engravings, linocuts and mixed-media collages. She became a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in May 2011 and is one of only three wood engravers to be elected as an Academician in the RA's history.
