"Vision of a Pope" is a drawing by Italian artist Francesco Campora (1693-1763) that is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The drawing is a study for a larger painting, and is notable for its detailed rendering of the figures and the dramatic composition. The drawing shows a pope surrounded by angels and other figures, suggesting a vision or divine intervention. The use of shading and light creates a sense of depth and volume, and the figures are depicted with a great deal of realism. The artist used a grid system to help him scale and proportion the figures.
