The Il Gesù in Rome by Renaissance architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola was the model for this church. The similarity of the three-aisled Baroque church with an altar is said to be so striking that the facade continues as an altar outside the church. The central middle section with curved pediment, a balustrade and both claw pieces with volutes, each equipped with sculpted candlesticks, contribute to this. The sculptural medallions, cartouches, volutes, festoons and garlands reinforce the image of an eternal festive high mass and show a victorious church.
All etchings come with a certificate of authenticity, have a dry stamp and are framed.
