Picasso shared Braque's foundational role in Cubism and similarly reinterpreted classical mythology and antiquity through modernist printmaking techniques, producing intaglio works that fragment and reimagine ancient subjects with comparable grey tonal restraint.

Miró was a prolific printmaker who explored intaglio techniques with a similar economy of line and mythological symbolism, often reducing classical or archetypal imagery to spare gestural forms on textured surfaces with muted tonal palettes.

Laurens worked in close dialogue with Braque and shared his interest in Cubist reinterpretations of classical subjects, producing prints and works on paper that similarly translate ancient figurative themes into modernist formal language with subdued tonal ranges.
