Piazza del Duomo, Florence is a 1621 ink by Edouard Eckman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a busy square packed with people. On the left, a woman in a wide hat and cloak stands near a tall building with arched windows. In the center, a crowd fills the open space, some walking, others gathered in groups. To the right, a church with a tall bell tower and a dome rises above the crowd. Notice how the artist uses sharp lines to show depth and movement, even though it’s just black and white. The scene feels lively, with people and buildings stacked like layers. Want to know more?
