Signed and dated at the bottom right // Mimmo Paladino's Necropolis (1984) is an etching that delves into themes of mortality and memory. The print is filled with shadowy figures and fragmented architectural elements, creating a surreal, dreamlike environment. Human figures are sketched minimally, with one in the foreground seemingly reclining or sinking into the shadowed space, while others appear faintly in the background, etched into walls or forms. The title Necropolis—meaning city of the dead—suggests an exploration of the passage between life and death, with the figures possibly representing souls or memories. Paladino’s use of soft lines and abstract forms imbues the work with a haunting, contemplative quality.
