  • WALL LABEL: Hans Heysen: The Creative Journey, 1992

     

    Heysen painted this image onto a metal plate using printing ink.  A sheet of paper was placed on top and then by applying pressure in a press, the image was transferred to the paper.  The image is based very closely on the drawing Rue St Romain, Rouen and is in reverse due to the printing process.
