The photographic image captures the back of the sculpture, Perseus, with an infinitive depth of field so that it brings forth the background close to the viewer. The Palazzo Vecchio was the seat of power for the Medici family during Renaissance. They were patron of the talented Renaissance artists whose works bequeathed us the eternal beauty from an era of humanism. The original etching plate is coated in bluish Photrak as presented in website to illustrate printing process.
