S. Francesco al Prato in Perugia 24 - 1828

This pencil drawing, created by Friedrich Maximilian Hessemer in 1828, depicts the S. Francesco al Prato in Perugia, Italy. The artwork features a detailed and delicate rendering of the church and surrounding buildings, showcasing Hessemer's skill in architectural drawing. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. The church, with its bell tower and simple facade, is the focal point of the drawing, set against the backdrop of the cityscape. The drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the architectural beauty of Perugia during the 19th century.
