About this work

This etching shows a big stone church with a tall tower. The sky is bright and cloudy. In front is a smaller building with a cross above the door. It’s one of a set of prints showing Venice’s buildings. The artist recorded details like windows and shadows carefully. You can almost feel the city’s quiet mood.
