Here Horace does not center the church but gives it a composition by putting it to the left - even backing the rear of his unidentified church out of frame. A bird soars or holds above the abandoned church's spire and so we have named it for the saint of fowl. (Somewhere I have a book of abandoned country churches in the northwest. Perhaps this one is featured there. I will look for it and offer an addendum if I find it.) Click TWICE to Enlarge.
