EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Austria, Vienna: Church of St. Charles (Karlskirche) - Pediment Depicting the Suffering of Viennese During the Plague of 1713 2. Description: This image showcases the magnificent pediment of the Church of St. Charles (Karlskirche) in Vienna, Austria, designed by the renowned Italian architect, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, and decorated with reliefs by the talented sculptor, Giovanni Stanetti. Dating back to the early 18th century, this Baroque masterpiece was built as a token of gratitude for the city's deliverance from the devastating plague of 1713. The pediment, a triangular structure surmounting the church's facade, is adorned with intricate decorations and reliefs that narrate the story of the Viennese people's suffering during the plague. The central relief, created by Stanetti, depicts St. Charles Borromeo, the patron saint of the plague, offering solace to the afflicted. Surrounding this scene, various reliefs illustrate the agony and despair of the Viennese population as they endure the illness. The pediment's white marble columns and decorative motifs are further embellished with intricate details, creating a stunning contrast against the blue Viennese sky. The overall design of the Church of St. Charles, with its grandeur and symbolism, reflects the religious fervor and artistic prowess of the Baroque era. 3.
