Pelgrims voor de Sint Pieter in het heilige jaar 1575 after 1575

Giovanni Battista Cavalieri's "Pelgrims voor de Sint Pieter in het heilige jaar 1575" (after 1575) is an engraving depicting a scene of pilgrims gathering before St. Peter's Basilica in Rome during the Holy Year of 1575. Cavalieri skillfully uses perspective to create a sense of depth and grandeur, capturing the vast scale of the basilica and the bustling crowd of devotees. The detailed rendering of the architecture and the figures within the scene is remarkable, offering a glimpse into the religious fervor and cultural vibrancy of Rome in the 16th century.
