Description
This page has been drawn with a very peculiar and fascinating technique: on the front there's the drawing in pen and ink, on the back the page has been watercolored.
So if you hold it up to the light, you can see the amazing final result: the way the page has been published!
To get an idea of the matter, please, take a look at the additional images, with the watercolored back of the artwork and a digital pic of the page hold up to the light.

(mixed media on artboard, roughly 11"x 14")

Wow, what a cool process! I don't think I've ever seen that before, and I love the style of inking, too. Some pretty interesting Italian artists out there, with cool process. :) Thanks for the education! Congrats on a great page

Looks like he did the research to make each scene look more realistic and lively than it has ever been presented before on paper.

Beautiful and unique piece!  The artist, and the approach, is new to me.  The inking reminds me of Serpieri and Sanjulian a bit

Fantastic piece! I love all the detail Gaudenze manages to put into every panel. And I love the inking! Congrats!

pretty much standard process to separate the b/w from color, since the printing process at that time was very different than what we have now and machines couldn't capture b/w and color at the same time... anyway, fantastic page!
