- Fontana also constructed the Cappella Cibo (1682-1684) in S Maria del Popolo, which had first been planned on concentric circles, on a cruciform plan with reduced arms at the sides and opposite the entrance. Its merit lies in the harmonious blending of polychrome marbles and the coordination of painting, sculpture and architecture to create the unified effect of a complete work of art. The Virgin Immaculate with SS Gregory, John Chrysostom, John the Evangelist and Augustine (ca. 1686; Rome, S Maria del Popolo, Cybo Chapel) is a measured and, to a certain degree, cold composition, but it presents its subject forcefully and is a clear precedent of 18th-century Neo-classicism.
