arch-lines

Updated: May 22, 2025

Behind the altar is a true Provençal apse, shallow and rectangular, and beyond its rounded roof opens the smaller half-dome. Architecturally, this is an interesting interior; but the traveller who has not time to spend in musings will fail to see it in its original intention; cold, severely plain, heavy, with perhaps too many arch-lines, but sober and simple.
