# The Cathedral, in The Etching Revival

James Ensor made this in 1886, aged 26. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> James Ensor used tiny, repetitive marks possible with etching to develop a new, expressive style that contrasted with that of most of his contemporaries. The Gothic architecture, worn facade, and overwhelming scale of the cathedral seen here in exacting detail show that it has withstood the test of time.
