Artwork Description:

Etching. Hand pulled etching by artist, Jerry Mazur-DiFalco, was created at the Center For Works on Paper, Fleisher Art s Open Studio in Printmaking, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is the first of four editions, and each edition is limited to only five works. The media includes oil base etching ink, RivesBFK white paper, and a Thai mulberry bark paper color overlay in the Chine collè process. Other studio processes include intaglio, aquatint, and drypoint. The work was adapted from original pencil and graphite drawings, which were based on the artist’s photo from 1990. Image size is eight inches wide by six inches high, and paper size is fifteen inches wide by eleven inches high. The work comes with an acid free matt framed in a silver painted wood and glass frame that measures sixteen inches wide by twelve inched high. Price includes mat, frame, signed and numbered etching, Certificate of Authenticity signed by artist, shipment carton, bubble wrap and packing materials, and information on the artist. The scene features The Roman Catholic Church of Vera Cruz, formerly known as Santo Sepulcro, located in the San Marcos area of Segovia, Spain. The design is based on a dodecagonal plan, which has a circular nave revolving around an aedicule, or small temple. It is one of the finest preserved European temples of this style, and the construction of this temple has been attributed to the Templars. The Knights of the Order of Malta celebrate their religious acts in this church. Noteworthy are the acts of Good Friday, especially the procession of the Christ Yaciente and the Lignum Crucis in which the Knights of the Order of Malta parade with black choir habits. Many legends surround this specific building, some which claim that there are hidden symbols within the design that unveil secrets about the Holy Grail and The Philosopher’s Stone. The sizes given below refer to the framed work.
