Dennis Scholl's reclining figure is based on the depiction of the root of Jesse (also known as the Jesse tree), a common motif in Christian iconography, especially in the Middle Ages. It depicts Jesus' descent from the house of King David as a tree of life. A tree grows from the protagonist's belly, with snakes hanging from its branches, fixed by loops. The etching is a variation on a large-format oil painting by Dennis Scholl with the same title.

About Etching

Originating in medieval Europe, etching became one of the most important printmaking techniques of the old masters. Using acid to bite designs into metal plates, artists achieved remarkable detail and expression.
