About this work

This photo shows a round, black-and-white image of a church inside. You see tall columns with arches, a checkerboard floor, and a raised platform at the front. The walls are plain, and the ceiling has a simple design. The artist used strong light and shadow to make the space feel deep. The dark edges of the circle frame the scene like a window. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
