COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The room on the ground floor of the new wing of the Louvre is ornamented at one end with a galleryan upper story, similar to a tribune, running along the side of a building and open on one side to the interior; in a church (basilica) above the side aisles, over the ambulatory (central-plan building) and also over the west end. The gallery was used to keep certain groups of worshippers apart (women, noblemen). supported by Goujon's four caryatides, a form hitherto almost unknown in France.
