View of west facade depicting stone steps; Becerra cited his involvement in Puebla in building the churches of S Francisco, S Domingo, S Agustín and S Luis. At S Francisco there is a striking contrast between the stone and the glazed tiles that cover the façade. Inside there are ribbed vaults and, in the vestry, paintings by Cristóbal de Talavera ( fl 18th century). Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 6/21/2009)
