Eighteen Views of Rome: The Collegio di Propaganda Fide, 1665 - Lievin Cruyl

The artwork

Ideal for collectors, a sketch view of the Collegio di Propaganda Fide by Lievin Cruyl, in pen and brown ink with brush and grey wash over graphite. The Collegio is not shown in the foreground, but the columns of its façade are clearly visible. It is a perspective work, with the forecourt in front of the Collegio and its low boundary wall prominent. Three variants of this picture exist.
