Charles Michel Ange Challe - Interior of a Mausoleum
Summary
A specialist in architectural drawing and perspective, Challe was also a prolific inventor of theatre and festive decors and imaginary architecture. He based this drawing on the Pantheon in Rome, giving it an exuberant Baroque twist with numerous decorations. He achieved the dramatic chiaroscuro in the foreground by using undiluted brown ink.
