#baptistry

This dream reminded me of Venice, or some other italian place, a grand plaza with a gigantic stone head with an archway, and a leaning building like a church or a baptistry. It felt like I was on vacation.

The mosaics in the Baptistry of the Duomo in Florence form the most important narrative cycle of Florentine art before Giotto. Apparently, according to the inscription, work on the mosaic began in 1225 by the Franciscan friar Jacobus - but other artists that contributed to the cycle included great masters such as Cimabue. It includes the Last Judgement, various Old Testament scenes from the Book of Genesis, and the life of Christ. We had the Baptistry to ourselves, and our masks, for a few minutes: what a remarkable space. #baptistry #mosaic #florence #cimabue #christianart #christ #lastjudgement (at Florence Baptistery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtGyqlltlp/?igshid=o36eqsp9yhzv
