S. Francesco d’Assisi in Palermo Possibly 1829

"S. Francesco d’Assisi in Palermo" is a pencil drawing by Friedrich Maximilian Hessemer, possibly dated 1829. The drawing depicts the facade of a church in Palermo, Italy. The artist used a simple, linear style to capture the architectural details of the building, including the large rose window, the arched doorway, and the surrounding walls. This drawing is a testament to Hessemer's keen eye for architectural detail and his ability to capture the essence of a building through precise lines and shading. This artwork is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
