Angelo Falconi

Angelo Falconi is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Angelo Falconi left Rome’s print shops smelling of ink and turpentine, where he turned biblical scenes into something you could hang on a tavern wall. He’s the guy who carved The Entombment so the light on Christ’s body looks like it’s still moving. See it once and you’ll notice how he lets shadows do the talking.

Tap The Entombment in the gallery, it’s small but the hollows in the rock feel deeper than the print itself.
