Artwork Description:

Di Falco unites the genres of printmaking and painting in this unique work on paper, which also depicts another scene from the city of Budapest. He began to enhance his etched artist proofs after losing access to his etching studio a half year ago because of the viral crisis. He hopes to return to his studio after Labor Day of 2020. The media for this pictured work on paper includes: etching ink RivesBFK white paper gouache pulverized mica gold dust Gouache, and, Winsor Newton watercolors. The image—adapted from a photo taken by the artist—depicts The Dohány Street Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue or Tabakgasse Synagogue, a historical building in Erzsébetváros, which is the 7th district of Budapest in Hungary. This architectural wonder is among the top ten sights of this exotic city. The etched proof was originally hand printed and published at The Center for Works on Paper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After adding water-base media to the proof, Di Falco trimmed the work and mounted it on The Hebrew inscription on the building quotes Exodus and translates, “And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.” The work measures about 10 by 15 inches and ships to the buyer without a mat of frame. This keeps the price reasonable and offers a wide framing selection to the buyer. Other editions of this proof can be found on this site. The actual etchings include a frame.
