I think what I find overwhelming about this portrait is how Shanks handled not only the huge "person" subject matter but, literally the hugeness of San Pietro itself. This cathedral is massive.

If my memory serves me, the light in question to the right of the Pope is one that "back lights" the statutes along the wall. If you continued to walk in the direction the Pope is faced now, you would come across Michelangelo
