"Venice II L'Ombre du Coleone" is a Jean Michel Mathieux-Marie aquatint and etching of a Venetian scene. It is from an edition of 120. Mathieux-Marie was born in Paris in 1947. He received a degree in architecture at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts in 1972. By 1978 he decided to become a printmaker specializing in drypoint. In 1983 he spent a year in Madrid at the Casa Velazquez where he illustrated texts of F.G. Lorca and studied dry pastel. His work, which often features moody scenes of European cities, focuses on architecture and sometimes stray into fantasy scenes.
