# Interior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LATROBE, Benjamin Henry]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary For the church Latrobe prepared two designs in both Gothic and "Roman" styles, preference finally being given to the latter in 1804. Sobriety and logical coherence are the main characteristics of the building, which in spite of its simplicity, radiates a sense of elevated dignity. This is largely due to its Ionic portico and the shallow stone dome, which is reminiscent of the Pantheon and rises above the crossing. The photo shows the interior of the church. ## Related artworks - [Baltimore Basilica]() - [Exterior view \(east front\)]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view \(west front\)]() - [Exterior view \(west front\)]() - [General view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() - [The Bank of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
