Description
Mexican printmaker Angel Zamarippa Landi (also known as "Fa-Cha") did this soft-ground etching of the fountain on the Zocalo, the main square in historic Mexico City, with a view from the backside of the Metropolitan Cathedral. The building of the cathedral began in 1567 with completion in 1788 and it is a blend of baroque, neoclassic, and Mexican Churrigueresque architecture. The enormous weight of the building caused it to settle or sink into the soft lake bottom on which it was built. See our link to the biography for Angel Zamarripa Landi above.
