Chimei Hamada Catacomb 1966
Catacomb / etching, aquatint / 35.2×35.2cm / 1966
It’s also collected in the Uffizi Gallery. Drawing a catacomb in Rome, it vividly expresses in etching and aquatint the depth and mystique a catacomb has.
Catacombs were made when Christianity hadn’t been recognized officially. This site makes us feel the process of the history.
Only 20 copies have been published.
