Neither Living Here Nor Dead There

Tomb of Johann Baptista Gislenus

Still having a grand time "aging" my tourist photos with techniques from Susan Tuttle's class.  I had a lot of fun tweaking this tomb of architect Johann Baptista Gislenus (1670), located in Santa Maria Del Popolo (Rome, Italy).

Above the skeleton statue is carved neque hic vivus (neither living here) & below is neque hic mortuus (nor dead there).


I'm thinking about printing this on either metallic or watercolor paper & seeing what happens...
