This print shows the inside of Milan’s famous Teatro della Scala. It’s an 18th–19th century work on paper by Citterio. You won’t see color—just lines and shading in the print. The scene captures the empty theater’s quiet grandeur. High arches and rows of seats stretch back into shadow. Next time you’re in London, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
