The Steps of the Church of S. S. Domenico-e-Siste in Rome by John Singer Sargent — Fine Art

Wide stone steps lead up to a church facade in Rome in The Steps of the Church of S. S. Domenico-e-Siste in Rome. John Singer Sargent treats the architecture with a loose open-air approach and soft washes.

This fine art print sits inside a frame with a back panel. The matte paper keeps the pale stone tones calm and stops glare under a lamp. When the ready to hang option is used, the piece arrives assembled with the frame and back panel already joined.

A landing at the top of the stairs works well for this picture. From the hall door you catch the broad sweep of steps and the church shape above them. Up close, the brushy strokes and washed areas give the architecture some air.
