About this work

This painting shows a grand, vaulted staircase with many columns and arches. The staircase is lined with people in robes, and the walls are made of large blocks of stone. The ceiling is high and curved, with a pattern of circles. The painting is done in warm colors, with lots of shadows that make the scene look dramatic. The artist has used light and dark to create a sense of depth and space. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
