DESCRIPTION:
Scott Schwartz said Medieval Reinterpretation. Based on prices fetched by dealers and the web, Axel Haig is getting more and more desirable. He was apparently a great artist, respected in his time and later. His incredibly detailed etchings of cathedrals and other medieval scenes arouse a strong sense of idealized fantasy, highly characteristic of Victorian renditions, larger than life, combining John Martin with Cecil B. DeMille, but without pre-Raphaelite sweetness. What sets these apart is the way he created hazy atmospheric effects of distance still using monochromatic technique. H
