David Roberts 1796 - 1864

Summary

Interior view of the ornate church of SS Giovanni Paolo in Venice, Italy. Looking towards the high altar during a service, a group of figures prostrate on the holy ground to the left as a priest enters the scene in a procession from the right, followed by a group of dignatories. Bathed in sunlight, figures pray before the alter, some standing, others seated.
