This print shows a tall, arched church interior with rows of pointed arches and columns. Below, people stand in a courtyard—some talking, others walking. The walls are plain, but the ceiling has carved details and small figures in the corners. Light comes through tall windows, casting shadows on the floor. The artist used shading to make the arches and columns look three-dimensional. Notice how the light creates depth, almost like the space could stretch forever. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
