12
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A church in Macau is a 12 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a church with a pediment and a cross, seen over a long stone wall. The church is likely the Sé Cathedral in Macau, drawn before its rebuilding in 1850. This is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of what the cathedral looked like before it was changed. To learn more about the style of this drawing, look into the technique of cross-hatching.
A drawing by George Chinnery depicts a church with a pediment and cross positioned above a long stone wall, possibly representing the Sé Cathedral before its 1850 reconstruction. The work is part of an album containing 175 sketches made during his travels in China and India. The album, bequeathed in 1928 by James Orange, includes 93 drawings by Chinnery.
