- Physical Description
- This drawing presents a frontal view of a small two-story church. The first level has a portico entrance flanked by statues in niches. Above the portico continues into the second level and is surmounted by a pediment. Above the second level is a shallow dome on a low drum.
- Subject Matter
- Barberi's drawing of a church shows a centrally planned structure where the double height portico at the entrance is repeated at the sides, perhaps indicating that the church is centrally planned and the "arms" of the cross are reduced to the exterior porticos. The low saucer dome, reminiscent of the Pantheon, suggests an affinity with Roman baroque architecture.
