This print showcases the breathtaking interior of the Basilica of San Lorenzo outside the walls, also known as San Lorenzo al Verano, in Rome. The image takes us on a journey through time and space, immersing us in the rich history and exquisite beauty of this sacred place. Dating back to the 6th century AD, this basilica stands as a testament to Byzantine art and European architectural marvels from both the first and second millennium.
