Sant'Ivo della Sapienza, Rome

Lieven Cruyl made series of drawings as well as individual renderings of the landmarks of Rome. Several of the drawings were later engraved by himself. The present print shows the fa�ade of Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza on Piazza Sant’Eustachio, in reversed view. The church must be regarded as Francesco Borromini’s masterpiece, where his style reached its zenith and where he played all the registers at his command.
