Italian Grisaille Painting of the Florentine Basilica di Santo Spirito

This Italian grisaille painting from the 19th century features the Basilica di Santo Spirito located in Florence, Italy. One of the masterpieces of the genius Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi, the simple unfinished façade depicted here hides an extraordinary jewel of architecture, as well as Michelangelo's wooden crucifix that he sculpted in exchange for the right to make anatomical studies. The painting depicts, with a monochrome palette, the church in the background with its bell tower and duomo. In the foreground, the fountain sitting on paved steps provides perspective.
