  • Éléments d'architecture
DEF

Partie de l'entablement comprise entre l'architrave et la corniche, elle porte dans les ordres antiques des métopes ou des triblyphes (dorique) ou des bas-reliefs (ionique et corinthien). Par extension on donne aujourd'hui ce nom à toute composition peinte ou sculptée qui se développe en bande sur toute la largeur d'un édifice ou d'une pièce.

CONT

Une frise à triglyphes, une balustrade très stricte au bord d'un toit, un fronton rectiligne sur quatre couples de colonnes, accusent l'influence du classicisme français et le corps central, avec son dôme, évoque Vaux-le-Vicomte plutôt que les faubourgs de Vienne.
