## Commentary

Although Neo-Gothic predominated in this period, all the churches with a porch sheltered by a portico, which were imitations of antique temples and Early Christian basilicas, required sculpted pediments. The pretty pediment of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette was executed by Nanteuil who sought to create an impression of depth.
