As in an ancient myth, this engraving sets human history in motion: gathered on the same tower, serene and agitated spirits coexist and confront each other in a permanent antagonism. A succession of detailed scenes - some are grotesque - indicates order, chaos, laughter, tears, love or hate. Everything is freely interpreted and finished on drypoint in order to enhance the chiaroscuro. Let’s not fool ourselves, we’re all here...
