Not St Peter's. This is the cathedral of Rome, the seat of the pope as bishop of the city, and the oldest church in the Western world. Constantine gave the land, and the first dedication came in 324, more than a thousand years before the dome rose across the river. The façade reads like a palace front. Inside, Borromini's nave runs long and white, with twelve apostles standing in their niches. Most of the crowds are three miles away at the Vatican. Here the doors are open, the floor is worn marble, and admission is free.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
