The image displays the interior of the Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna, Italy, focusing on the Arca di San Domenico and its surrounding architectural elements. At the center stands a multi-tiered, ornate marble ciborium or canopy structure. It features multiple columns with fluted shafts and decorative capitals, supporting an upper section adorned with sculpted figures, cherubs, and intricate architectural motifs. Behind the marble structure, a tall, dark wooden cylindrical element with pointed arch-like carvings, possibly gilded in parts, forms the background. To the left, a white marble full-body statue of a male figure, identified as Saint Dominic, stands on a rectangular plinth. The figure wears monastic robes, holds a torch-like object in his raised right hand, and has a faint golden halo around his head. Behind the statue, a dark wooden cabinet is positioned against the reddish-brown wall. In the foreground, a dark-colored stone staircase ascends towards the central structure. A light-colored stone balustrade with spherical finials and numerous balusters lines the right side of the staircase and extends horizontally to the left, connecting with the base of the statue's plinth. A red rope barrier is strung across the lower steps, attached to a dark metal stanchion, restricting access. At the top of the staircase on the right, a dark metal gate with intricate scrollwork patterns is visible. The basilica's interior features warm reddish-brown or terracotta-colored walls with prominent arches and pilasters. The vaulted ceilings are a lighter, possibly cream or yellow hue, accented by darker structural ribs. A circular stained-glass window is partially visible high on the right wall. A dark rectangular speaker is mounted on the upper left wall.
