Detalje af Berninis kolonade på Peterspladsen 1864 - 1867

This pencil sketch by Danish artist L.A. Schou depicts a detail of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s colonnade in St. Peter’s Square. The drawing is notable for its delicate lines and careful attention to the architectural details. The perspective is that of a viewer looking down the long colonnade, with the columns receding into the distance. Schou, who died young at the age of 29, is known for his architectural drawings, which are considered to be among the finest examples of Danish architectural draftsmanship. The drawing is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
