This 18th-century baroque relief crowns a window, depicting God the Father holding the orb of creation. Rich with scrolls and vegetal forms, it merges celestial symbolism with architectural rhythm. The piece emphasizes divine oversight and cosmic harmony, reflecting the baroque era’s fascination with the interplay between the sacred and the structural, inviting contemplation of the divine within the built environment.
