The ambitious proposal was never realized. Italian architect Antonio Rinaldi's model for St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg is interesting for its mixture of elements of the Italian baroque, and Russian Orthodox traditions. A lavishly illustrated, 621-page catalogue, with fifteen scholarly essays, edited by Millon, is available in softcover in the Gallery Shops. The National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden, located on the National Mall between Third and Ninth Streets at Constitution Avenue, NW, is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5.p.m. The Gallery is closed on 25 December and 1 January.
Admission is free.
