Sketch of a Palace's Interior's Foreshortening with Stairs, Statues and Ornaments 1762 - 1844

Giuseppe Bernardino Bison's "Sketch of a Palace's Interior's Foreshortening with Stairs, Statues, and Ornaments" is a quick yet detailed pen and ink drawing of a palace interior. Executed in 1762-1844, the drawing focuses on the grand staircase of a palace, conveying the illusion of depth through foreshortening. The architectural detail is expertly rendered, from the elaborate ornamentation on the vaulted ceiling to the statues lining the steps. This work showcases Bison's skill in capturing the grandeur and opulence of aristocratic interiors, and serves as a glimpse into the world of 18th-century Italian architecture.
