This grisailles series in the Chiostro dello Scalzo is the artist's most ambitious work. It employs essentially all of the techniques used to create space. The overlapping of figures is evident both in the foreground and the background where there are large crowds of people, offering a clear illusion of which figures are meant to appear in front and "closer" to the viewer. The artist creates space with relative size, as those figures far in the background are drawn much smaller in in less detail. Finally, it appears that linear perspective was employed and there exists an implied horizon line and vanishing point at the top of the hill.
