The walls of the interior were decorated with paintings, of which in many places traces are still perceptible. Over these are eight angels in medallions, and the centre is occupied by a colossal picture of Christ. The dome over the main nave has eight windows, with eight paintings between them representing eight apostles. The rear has two oblique cornices imitating the front gable and surmounting the sloping roof of the sanctuary. The whole is surmounted by a rich frieze and cornice which separate the lower part of the edifice from the gabled roof of the portico, whose front or gable field is richly decorated with sculptures. Several quadrangular panels on both sides of this arch exhibit bas-reliefs, in which lions occur, probably alluding to Venice. The door in the main front, which is approached by two steps, has a straight lintel, but over it a richly moulded arch enclosing a sculptured panel. There are three entrances to the church, on the south, west, and north sides. The sanctuary alone projects on the rear of the building in form of a semi-hexagon. The church proper has three naves having semicircular apsides with narrow windows. The first third is occupied by the vestibule. Its form is a rectangle, whose length exceeds its breadth by one half. It was probably built in the tenth century, for the gables indicate a peculiar application of framework which was foreign to the earlier Byzantine style, and betray Italian influence. * The Catholicon, the Cathedral of Athens was one of the few buildings which have escaped destruction in the war of independence.

When the plate is exposed to acid, it will bite only the uncovered copper, forming an image of grainy lines. The copper is exposed wherever a line was drawn on the paper. The pressure of the pencil will push the paper into the ground, and when the paper is removed from the plate surface, small points of the soft ground will stick to the grain of the paper. The same principle applies when drawing on a piece of paper placed on top of the soft ground. If, for example, you press a leaf into the ground its fine structure will pull away the ground when lifted from the plate, exposing the copper below, allowing the acid to etch a very detailed impression of the leaf into the plate. This makes it possible to make an imprint in the ground itself, by pressing an object or texture into the ground. Soft ground is a hard etching ground to which fat has been added to make it soft and sticky.
