This Antique St Peter’s Basilica Print depicts the soaring interior of the Vatican basilica, complete with tiny figures wandering around beneath architecture that makes everyone look appropriately insignificant.
The Italian inscription identifies the scene as the interior of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. An old architectural print with wonderful age and character, it’s framed in green with gilt detailing—a particularly good combination for anyone susceptible to antique Rome prints, Grand Tour art, or European architectural prints.
