The steps and fort of S. Francisco, Macau is a 19 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows the steps up to a church, Macau’s S. Francisco, with a fort nearby. The artist draws every brick and leaf in careful detail. Light plays on the white steps and dark shadows fill the stairwell. Chinnery lived in Macau for years. He used light and shadow to make the scene feel real. His lines are crisp and full of texture. Check out more of Chinnery’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
