Description 15x12 Watercolor;St. Peter's is a church built in the Renaissance style located in the Vatican City west of the River Tiber and near the Janiculum Hill and Hadrian's Mausoleum. It is the largest church and the most famous Roman Catholic Church in the world, dating back to Roman architecture of the early Christian art period. The basilica, construction of the present building was begun in 1506 (under Pope Julius II) and completed in 1626 (under Pope Urban VIII). Admired for its Renaissance sculpture as well as its fusion of Renaissance and Baroque architecture, the design, construction and decoration of Saint Peter's involved the greatest Old Masters of the day, including Alberti, Raphael, Bramante, Michelangelo, and Bernini. Its central dome dominates the skyline of Rome and the eight gigantic columns of the facade are almost 10ft wide and 90 feet high.
