Graftombe c. 1619

"Graftombe" is an etching by Angelo Falco, a prominent Italian artist of the 17th century, completed around 1619. The artwork depicts a funerary monument featuring a reclining figure below a circular frame containing a scene of the Virgin Mary and Child, surrounded by cherubs and a laurel wreath. The work is executed in delicate lines, typical of Falco's style, and serves as a fine example of Italian etching during the Baroque period. The image was likely intended as a design for a commemorative tomb or a funerary inscription, highlighting the enduring popularity of such imagery in 17th-century art.
