This breathtaking graphic masterpiece is by the Antwerp artist and master printmaker Charles Van Gisbergen (1942–2021). The artwork presents a striking diptych scene in which monumental Gothic arches and mysterious, dark silhouettes contrast against a fiery, layered evening sky. Van Gisbergen utilized a highly complex, manual combination printing technique: the deep, velvety black structures of the lithograph merge seamlessly with the intense, opaque red and blazing orange color fields of the screenprint. Due to its very restricted edition of only 10 prints and its exceptional color intensity, this is a rare and highly collectible graphic masterpiece.
