Leonardo Marini’s “Design for the Interior of a Gallery of a Palace” (1760-1797) is a detailed drawing of a grand palace interior. The design features an elaborate vaulted ceiling with intricate moldings and decorative motifs, such as garlands and urns. The walls are adorned with pilasters and marble panels, creating a sense of architectural grandeur. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the drawing, highlighting the ornate details of the design. This drawing exemplifies the Rococo style, popular in the 18th century, which emphasized elegance, asymmetry, and lavish ornamentation.
