About the piece
Painted in 1848 by Carlo Bossoli, this tempera work captures the awe-inspiring scale of the Duomo di Milano. The composition balances the intricate gothic architecture with a lively street scene in the piazza, featuring carriages and figures in period dress under a bright, expansive sky. Bossoli's technique highlights the complex spires of the cathedral against the daily activity of the historic Italian square.
