Cross-Section of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural cross-section of a large, domed building. The drawing depicts structural elements of the building such as arches, pillars, and a large domed roof. The left side shows a semi-circular structure with a ribbed roof, supported by arches. The right side features a larger dome on arched supports and columns. Italian labels identify different parts of the structure. The drawing is detailed with precise lines and shading to show depth and dimensionality.
