Gate of Naples
Printmaker: Brangwyn, Frank
Based on a watercolour drawing. Market stalls and figures dwarfed by buildings and church in background. Etching differs little from the original study, except in the more detailed presentation of the tower and the smoke from the soup kitchen. Despite the scale of the building, Brangwyn still manages to capture wonderful irrelevant details of the cook ladling soup into a bowl, and cavorting figures.
