Petrus op wolken 17th century

"Petrus op wolken" is a 17th century drawing by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, an Italian artist known for his fresco work and his contributions to the Rococo style. This drawing, which depicts Saint Peter standing on clouds, is a preparatory sketch for a larger work. Pellegrini uses a light, loose style, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The figure of Saint Peter is rendered with fluidity, and the clouds beneath his feet are suggested with delicate lines. The drawing exemplifies the artist’s skill and attention to detail, demonstrating the preparatory process in art.
