Artwork Description:

This hand pulled etching is based on an antique photograph taken by Giovanni Di Falco, the paternal grandfather of the artist, in 1889 at Mont San Michele in France. Jerry Di Falco executed two drawings in graphite of this photo before etching onto his zinc plate, which was then developed in three baths of Nitric acid. This specific etching is from the Third of Four Editions, and all editions are limited to only five prints. Media include a blend of oil base etching inks on RivesBFK white paper with a Thai mulberry bark paper color overlay. The mulberry bark paper was treated with methyl cellulose and also infused with kozo threads from Japan. The intimate image size measures six inches high by four inches wide the paper size is about ten inches by eleven inches. The wood and glass frame measures about twelve inches by nine inches. This edition was printed in February of 2020 at The Center for Works on Paper within Fleisher Art School’s Open Printmaking Studio in Philadelphia. The first two editions were created in October of 2019. Fleisher is associated with the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Pennsylvania, United States.
