View of the façade

Between 1457 and 1461 Agostino was working on the façade of the oratory of San Bernardino, Perugia. Although the architectural framework of the façade recalls Alberti's design for San Francesco in Rimini, the sculpture, originally highly polychromed, is rich and intricate, emphasizing line and movement. Above a double door framed by reliefs of angels, a high tympanum contains a relief of St Bernardino in Glory. God the Father appears in the upper pediment, and four aedicules contain statues.
