The artwork

Every element is rendered with meticulous care, from the statues on top of the façade to the arches and columns that make up the main structure.

The central obelisk, an ancient and universal symbol, divides the composition symmetrically, emphasising the geometric balance of the whole façade. The absence of complex shading or strong colours allows the viewer to appreciate the purity of the architectural lines and forms. The drawing looks more like a preparatory study than a finished work, underlining the artist’s intention to concentrate on structural aspects and proportions.

The warm tone of the paper, which might be read as aged parchment, adds a historical dimension to the work, making it look like an ancient document, perhaps a design or original sketch by the architects who worked on building the basilica. The sense of history is reinforced by the Latin inscription carved on the façade, which recalls the time of the consecration and the religious importance of the building.
