The exhibition offers an overview of the two basic techniques of printmaking\, woodcut and etching  in Europe. The works have been selected based on the variety of periods in which they were created – from the 16th century to the present day – as well as the variety of themes. Emphasis is placed on presenting the different methods of the two techniques. \nThe aim of the exhibition is to highlight the creativity and inventiveness of printmakers in relation to painting. With the aim of highlighting the primary and essential role of Printmaking in the dissemination of images across all social spectrum\, the exhibition presents both independent works and book illustrations\, aimed at a wide audience. It also offers an overview of European artistic movements\, with works by the great names in painting and printmaking. The exhibition\, presents the many exchanges in the art world between European countries. \nA brief history of the two techniques \nPrintmaking appeared in the West World in the early 15th century and contributed significantly to the dissemination of texts and images. Woodcut\, the original form of printmaking\, was based on engraved wooden blocks that could be easily printed along with the typographic elements. In this technique\, only the raised\, unengraved parts of the wood retain the ink and are imprinted on the paper\, a process called Relief. The ability to reproduce works gave artists the opportunity to disseminate their designs to a wider audience. \nFrom the 15th century onwards\, woodcut began to compete with etchings. Engraving on metal plates\, mainly copper\, allowed for greater precision and detail\, as metal is more durable and uniform than wood. In copperplate printmaking\, ink is retained in the engraved lines\, while the smooth areas are cleaned\, a process called intaglio. \nAlthough printmaking made great strides\, it never gained the prestige of painting\, as it struggles to fully render the nuances of light and color. However\, many important artists were also printmakers\, creating original works of high artistic value that brought art closer to the general public. \n  \nΛεζαντες / captions \nJohann GRÜNINGER – Βεργιλίου Αινειάδα Η άλωση της Τροίας (5091 III) \nFrans MASEREEL La ville N° 13-42-72-100 (4918-21) \nΧΑΜΠΗΣ Η φραγκοεκκλησιά (4632) \nAuguste RODIN & Auguste LEPÈRE Buste de Balzac (5254) \nFrancisco José de GOYA y LUCIENTES Nadie nos ha visto(3943)   \nMarc CHAGALL L’âne chargé d’éponges et l’âne chargé de sel (3480) \n  \nCurator – Texts: Helen Reeb \nCollection: Hambis Printmaking Museum \nOPENING HOURS \nWEDNESDAY – SATURDAY \n10:00 – 13:00 / 15:00 – 17:00 URL:https://www.visitcyprus.com/ru/event/hambis-municipal-printamking-museum-nicosia-21-1-18-4-2026/ LOCATION:Hambis Municipal Printmaking Museum\, 55-59 Αmmochostou Str.\, Lefkosia\, 1016\, Cyprus ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://www.visitcyprus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/hambis.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Nicosia:20260301T110000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Nicosia:20260301T180000 DTSTAMP:20260301T161839 CREATED:20260227T105419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260227T105419Z UID:783533-1772362800-1772388000@www.visitcyprus.com SUMMARY:19th annual blooming almond tree festival - 1.3.2026 DESCRIPTION:The beautiful landscape filled with blooming almond trees highlights the beauty and tradition of the region. \nThe festival offers a unique experience with live music\, traditional dishes\, local products\, and activities for children.

Missing a control means disqualification. \nThere are different categories and age classes for men (M) and women (W). The elite class is M/W21. The other classs are grouped in five year age groups over 35 (ie M/W35 ; M/W40 ; M/W45 etc). Under 21 they are grouped in two year age groups (ie M/W10 ; MW12 ; M/W14 etc). \nOur youngest competitors are under ten years old and our oldest competitors are over 85 years !.(We are super proud of them !) \nThe first four events of the CIOF are middle distance « forest » type events\, held in the rural countryside\, with challenging terrain and technical maps.
