St. Peter's

About this work

This photo shows a big, fancy building with a huge dome in the center. It sits on a hill, surrounded by smaller houses and streets. The dome looks smooth and shiny, while the buildings below have flat roofs and simple shapes. The artist used a curved frame, making the scene look like you’re peering through a window. This was a new way to show views back then. Next, check out Robert Macpherson (British, 1811–1872) to see more of his work.
