Comments: Here you see detail of a side altar dedicated to St. Francis (São Francisco). The polychrome statue is also a familiar saint: St. Francis. Here you see the extreme expression of elegant late baroque Brazilian religious style. The lavish floral designs in glittering gold leaf on white backgrounds are expressions of the addition of French Rococco motifs to Iberian-American Baroque style.
