Description

View of the high altar at Sant'Andrea al Quirinale in Rome, Italy. "A sculpted St. Andrew rises above the altar-niche, soaring to heaven on stucco clouds. The architecture of the interior is designed to focus attention on this dramatic miracle ... The high altar is flanked by two pairs of fluted Corinthian columns in red marble. Baroque architects were fond of vari-colored marbles. The painting represents the martyrdom of St. Andrew, to whom the church is dedicated,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
