Title: Angolo, Santa Reparata
Artist: Susan James
About This Piece: This is an evocative hand-drawn etching with aquatinted tonal areas, created by the artist Susan James. The subject is a distinctive cupola (a small dome) that James sketched in Florence, Italy, in 2000.

The print captures the cupola standing proudly amongst surrounding trees and foliage, emphasizing the texture of its tiled dome and the contrast between the sunlit structure and the deep shadows created by the aquatint technique. The piece serves as a beautiful, lasting memento of her artistic experience in the historic city.
