This etching and aquatint on paper, signed in pencil, represents a special and unique impression within Raveel's graphic oeuvre. The artist personally heightened this black-and-white print by hand with watercolor, giving the sheet a distinctly painterly quality. The artwork is stylishly presented in a white frame behind non-reflective, UV-protective glass.

Art Story
In this graphic work, Roger Raveel pays direct homage to the Italian proto-Renaissance painter Giotto di Bondone (c. 1267-1337). Although Raveel received his formal training at the academies of Deinze and Ghent, he regarded Giotto throughout his life as his true spiritual mentor. Raveel particularly admired the monumental stillness, architectural structure, and distinctive sense of space in the Italian master's frescoes, elements he translated into his own recognizable visual language of clean lines and suggestive planes of color.Do you have questions?
