Arch thing at the Piazza Republica in Florence
Frescos and furniture in a bedroom at a palace (whose name I can't recall) in Florence
Loggia in Florence. Sorry for the overexposure. This is before I set the camera to spot metering.
Me in front of Il Duomo de Santa Maria della Fiore. See note above concerning overexposure.
Golden doors and sculpture at the Baptistery
Statuary on the façade of the Cathedral
More of the façade.
Inside the Museo d’Opera
Sculpture at the Museo d’Opera
Bas relief; originally part of the Cathedral; kind of creepy how singing children walk out of the stone
Statue popularly called 'Zuccone' (bald head), by Donatello
‘The Repentant Magdalene’, also by Donatello; this was a very powerful piece for me.
Models for the competition of possible façade treatment for the Cathedral. In actuality, the façade wasn’t completed until the 1800s.
Inside the Cathedral
The famous Golden Doors of the Baptistery
We…er…got bored while awaiting entrance into the Baptistery. We also keep doing shots similar to this in front of famous places all over Italy. Long story.
The Baptistery’s golden mosaic ceiling
More artsy shots of Brunelleschi’s Dome.
Inside the workshop where the Cathedral was built; still actually in use, as they make copies of sculptures or replace worn out bits of roof tile, or whatever
Relief on some of the slightly less famous doors of the Baptistery
