St Pietro in Perugia 21 - 1828

Friedrich Maximilian Hessemer's pencil drawing "St Pietro in Perugia" (1828) depicts a detailed view of the Basilica di San Pietro in Perugia, an important religious landmark in the Italian city of Perugia. The drawing captures the architectural grandeur of the basilica, showcasing its facade, bell tower, and surrounding buildings. The use of delicate pencil lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and perspective, highlighting the intricate details of the building. The work, now held in the Städel Museum, serves as a valuable record of the basilica's appearance in the early 19th century.
