From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
West Door, Monza Cathedral is a 13 watercolor by Pollen, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor sketch shows a busy scene inside a grand cathedral. People in old-fashioned clothes walk near a tall, striped column with a carved top. Some stand in a line, while others chat or look around. The walls have faded frescoes and a balcony above, with a small building visible through an archway outside. Notice how the artist captures light bouncing off the walls and clothes, making the scene feel alive. The sketch looks like it was drawn quickly, with loose brushstrokes that still show detail. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The artwork is a watercolour depicting the west door of Monza Cathedral, mounted on a sheet of card. On the reverse side of the mount, pencil drawings are present, including one of an angel or winged figure.
