Sébastien Vouillemont

Sébastien Vouillemont never left Paris, yet his prints traveled farther than he did. He carved Biblical tragedies and sacred scenes onto metal plates, turning light and shadow into something you can almost touch. The trick? He etched Lucretia’s last breath so deeply that the knife looks ready to slip off the page. Look for the way the cross in *Holy Family* casts a shadow that’s almost a second figure—like the artist’s quiet joke about who really holds the light.
