St Peter's, Rome
Watercolour, by William Wiehe Collins (1862–1951)
 

Collins' use of light washes soften the scale of the basilica and flood the square with warm light. Delicate architectural drawing contrasts with the lightly painted figures and carriages, creating a sense of depth and everyday movement within the monumental setting.
