Cathedral 1993

"Cathedral" (1993) is a striking etching by Polish artist Krzysztof Skórczewski. The work depicts a cathedral-like structure in a state of decay, with its interior exposed and its foundations crumbling. Skórczewski's signature style is evident in the intricate details and the use of light and shadow. The artist's fascination with architecture and the passage of time is on full display in this haunting and enigmatic print. The work's overall sense of fragility and decay suggests a meditation on the impermanence of both structures and civilizations. This print is a fine example of Skórczewski's ability to capture the beauty and decay of the built environment.
