Ontwerp voor het altaar van de heilige Camillo de Lellis voor de Santa Maria Maddalena in Rome c. 1770

This design for an altar by Luigi Valadier (1726-1785) is a beautifully rendered architectural drawing from c. 1770. The design is for the altar of Saint Camillus de Lellis, which was to be placed in the church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Rome. The intricate design features an ornate altarpiece flanked by two angels, creating a sense of grandeur and reverence. The use of light and shadow in the drawing, typical of the Rococo period, adds depth and dimension to the composition. This piece showcases Valadier's skill as an architect and designer, and his understanding of the classical principles of beauty and proportion.
