Heraldic image of Jose de Ribera and a life-size sculpture of Diego Velazquez, Spanish painters, on the exterior of the San Diego Museum of Art (Fine Arts Gallery). The Spanish Renaissance plateresque style building was designed by William Templeton Johnson (1877-1950) and Robert W. Snyder (1874-1955) and built in 1925-1926. Architectural sculptor Chris Mueller enhanced the facade with the addition of sculptural elements.
