Plan of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a floor plan drawing of a building. The image shows the layout of what seems to be a religious or monumental structure. The drawing includes labeled sections such as A labeled as "Porta" (door), B as "Cappella de L'angelo" (Chapel of the Angel), C as "Finestre" (Windows), D as a support structure, E as "Porta del Monumento" (Door of the Monument), F as a room or area possibly associated with a sudarium, and G as a platform on which "il corpo del nostro Salvatore" (the body of our Savior) is placed. The plan features a precise arrangement of rooms and passageways, with structural elements like walls and doors meticulously drawn, showing the careful planning typical of historical architecture. A scale at the bottom conveys the actual size of the building components. The style and script suggest an antiquated or classical approach to architectural drawing.
