This painting shows a towering stone cathedral with tall spires and pointed arches. The building’s front has three big doors and rows of small windows. In the foreground, a rooftop village with tiny houses and chimneys sits under a cloudy sky. The artist used soft colors and light to show the cathedral’s details without harsh lines. The sky looks real, with fluffy clouds and a distant haze. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this watercolor up close.
