Camposanto

The ancient graveyard in Pisa in the aftermath of a storm that left the marble shiny and mirror-like.

The storm has pulled away to the west, leaving a typically incandescent Tuscan sun to cut the architecture into high relief. Visible over the southern roof of the graveyard is the duomo and part of the upper register of the leaning tower.

It's an etching on zinc. The textures are aquatint, but the colours are watercolour applied after pulling the proof.
