We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this
Dear readers, May 11–15 is Monthly Giving Week. Monthly recurring donors are vital to keeping our mission alive. After being de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs, Catholic Online lost essential services supporting millions of families and now over 2.1 million students worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70’s, gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. A monthly gift of just $5 helps rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >
Entablature
FREE Catholic Classes
A superstructure which lies horizontally upon the columns in classic architecture. It is divided into three parts: the architrave (the supporting member carried from column to column); the frieze (the decorative portion); and the cornice (the crowning and projecting member). Each of the orders has its appropriate entablature, of which both the general height and the subdivisions are regulated by a scale of proportion derived from the diameter of the column. It is occasionally used to complete, architecturally, the upper portion of a wall, even when there are no columns, and in the case of pilasters or detached or engaged columns is sometimes profiled round them.
