The soaring arches, richly decorated ceiling, and distant altar are rendered with exceptional clarity by Philippe Benoist, while visitors move quietly through the space. Published in Paris between 1867 and 1869, this plate documents one of Rome’s most distinctive churches, built atop an ancient temple site. Benoist emphasizes the architectural contrast between Gothic structure and Roman context, making the image both visually striking and historically informative. Delicate tinting enhances spatial depth and architectural detail. The print appeals strongly to collectors of church interiors, Gothic architecture, and Roman art history. Condition report: Even age toning; light foxing in margins; image area clean. Framing tips: Wide ivory mat with a dark frame to enhance architectural depth.
