Description
A human skull rests atop crossed bones in this intricate engraving, rendered in precise black and white with masterful shading that gives the skull haunting dimension and presence. Ornamental borders frame the composition with classical text, anatomical details, and decorative flourishes that transform a meditation on mortality into an intellectually rigorous work of Renaissance printmaking. For a study, library, or anywhere contemplative thoughts linger. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
