About this work

This etching shows an old stone church front from the early 1700s. The building has tall columns, arches, and two small domes. Shadows fall across the facade, making it look solid. Luca Carlevariis made this image for a book about Venetian churches. The etching technique lets you feel every crack in the walls and every wrinkle in the stone. Look up his name in the National Gallery of Art, Washington if you want to see more of his church views.
