Johann Vögelin’s c. 1776 “Blick in die Seitenkapelle einer gotischen Kirche, in Abendbeleuchtung; im Vordergrund ein Chorknabe mit einer Fackel und zwei Priester” is a drawing that captures the grandeur of a Gothic church interior in the late 18th century. The artwork depicts a side chapel bathed in the warm glow of evening light, featuring a choirboy with a torch and two priests in the foreground. Vögelin’s masterful use of light and shadow highlights the intricate architectural details of the space, including vaulted ceilings, arches, and stone pillars. The piece offers a glimpse into the spirituality and grandeur of the era through the architectural details and symbolic figures of the church.
