View in Fisheye perspective of a Hall with Columns and Cross Rib Vaulting

Hans Pesser German

Not on view

Print with a fisheye view of the interior of a hall with cross rib vaults supported by columns. The composition is set up with a central perspective leading to an arched window in the back wall, placed exactly in the center of the sheet. To illustrate the full width of the building, which is divided in nine bays by the columns, a circular perspective was chosen, which is highlighted by the pattern of the floor tiles. The print was used as a model for a pietra-dura tabletop, now in the Kunst-und Wunderkammer of Burg Trausnitz in Landshut, Germany.
