# San Giorgio Maggiore: Interior [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PALLADIO, Andrea]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary Palladio's grandest interior is that of San Giorgio Maggiore. The design is conceived in terms of a single giant order flanking arches supported by a smaller order. The sculptural quality of the interior contrasts engaged columns and pilasters. The effect of the interior is based on combinations of flat and rounded forms, and decoration is almost totally eliminated.
