About the piece

Painted in 1868 by Aleksander Gryglewski, this oil on panel work offers a masterfully detailed look into the interior of Saint Mary’s Basilica. The artist skillfully uses light to highlight the gilded statues and dark, carved wood of the side altars against the soaring Gothic arches of the cathedral's nave.
