"Subterranean Mausoleum" (1780 - 1790) by Italian artist Pietro di Gottardo Gonzaga (1751-1831) is a detailed architectural drawing that depicts a grand, vaulted structure. The perspective and lighting create a sense of depth and scale, highlighting the intricate design of the arches, columns, and stairs. This drawing, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Gonzaga’s mastery of architectural draftsmanship and his penchant for creating evocative and imaginative spaces.
