Bishop’s Tomb, Church of our Lady, Bruges, Belgium, 2005

The medieval bishops of Bruges all seem to relax with a good book in death, at least according to the marble effigies that top their tombs. This one is in the Church of Our Lady, which took 200 years to build. I further aged this image in the post processing stage by darkening it, adding a slightly grainy texture, and giving the cold marble a touch of sepia warmth. My goal is to express the idea that this Bishop has been sleeping in this position for a very long time now.
