About this artwork

For the sake of economy, artists during the Etching Revival often published prints in sets. This print is the eighth of ten etchings from Cameron's 'Belgian Set', made after the artist's visit to the country in 1905. It was published by James Connell & Sons of Glasgow and London in 1907, and was the last series of etchings to be produced by Cameron. The set is of a consistently high quality, and this print ranks amongst Cameron’s finest church interiors. The effects of light and shade are skilfully staged, drawing the eye up the aisle and towards a dramatically lit Crucifixion surrounded in shadow, and creating a highly spiritual atmosphere.
