Cadmus killing the Dragon ca. 1540-45 Léon Davent French Léon Davent, of whom little more is known than his name and that he made more than 200 prints (most of which record designs produced by artists who worked at the palace of Fontainebleau) began his printmaking career as an engraver. Although he soon turned to etching, apparently delighting in the freedom of movement this medium allowed, his hatching exhibits a certain evenness and control that must be the legacy of his early training in engraving. In this etching, we can see the pleasure the artist took in creating linear pattern, whether the squiggly lines that indicate the rough bark of the tree or the sinuous curves that reinforce the twisting of the dragon's neck. This print also provides an excellent example of Davent's preference for an all-over gray tone, from which a few lighter areas stand out, giving subtle relief to the forms. This is achieved firstly by covering almost the entire surface of the plate, including the sky
