Dome of Duomo

The "Dome of Duomo" is a bright and striking symbol of the Italian Renaissance. This large architectural masterpiece is depicted as a number of individual details. the artist's idea is to show the cathedral true to life as if we were looking at it with our own eyes. Whatever angle we're looking at it from, we can never see the whole Duomo, but only some of its fragments.
