A stunning view of the Cathedra Petri (Chair of Saint Peter) within St. Peter's Basilica. This magnificent gilded bronze sculpture, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, features a central throne-like relic supported by statues of four doctors of the Church. The sculpture is bathed in light from an ornate stained-glass window depicting a dove, representing the Holy Spirit. The grand, golden, cloud-like frame is populated by angels and cherubs, creating a dramatic and divine scene.
