label: Description
content: Facade of a small church, showing the use of the doric order. Divided into three projecting parts horizontally, into two stories and a pediment, vertically. Laterally are the farthest receding parts with a window in either story; a door and a window are in the stories of the next section respectively; the central section consists of three panels framed by embedded Doric columns; in the central intercolumniations stand statues upon pedestals; above are festoons in oblongs. A triglyph frieze is shown in the second and in the central sections; steps lead up to these. The pediment consists of an attic, and a triangle with the coat-of-arms of a prelate supported by two female figures. The attic shows a half-circular window between two reliefs.
