This Di Falco etching was inspired by and adapted from a photograph of a 1987 sculpture that he took in Bern, Switzerland. The sculpture’s, The Fountain of the Baby Eater, shows a giant ogre eating a naked child. Moreover, the monster carries another sack full of plump angelic looking babies slung over his shoulder. No historians or art specialists are exactly sure of what this monument symbolizes, but folklorists offer a variety of origins for this narrative sculpture. Some believe it portrays KRAMPUS, the DUTCH demonic Santa who punishes naughty children at Christmas. The full title is, BIG GREEN KRAMPUS EATS OR FELIZ NAVIDAD, YOU ALL.
