Eighteen Views of Rome: The Church of the Gesù

Lievin Cruyl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a city square with a large church at the far end. The church has a dome and a large portico with columns. There are several buildings on either side of the square, and people are scattered throughout. The square is empty except for a few horse-drawn carriages and carts. A large stone structure is partially visible on the left. The sky appears hazy. The drawing is labeled with letters and numbers, and there is a line of text along the bottom. The entire image has a worn, aged appearance.
