About this work

You see a small, simple landscape with a figure and a phoenix in the center. This work is interesting because it was created using a combination of techniques. The image was first carved into wood, then printed using a heliogravure process. This was a new way of making prints at the time. The artist used bold lines and simple shapes to create this image. To learn more about this style, look into the work of another artist or check out the technique used here, which is a woodcut.
