Tempietto-Bramante-Rome-Mona-Lisa-Code-05

Bramante's Tempietto, which sits atop the Janiculum hill in Rome. The religious doctrine of the "Two Faces of the Soul" is brought out in this image, where the ethereal Celestial Soul is seen as the domed upper half, while the grounded nature of the Animal Soul is emphasized by the lower half of the structure. Number five in a series of artistic interpretations of the Tempietto of Bramante in Rome. Sitting atop Rome's highest hill, the Tempietto was the primary geographic focus for Leonardo da Vinci's masterwork--the Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde.
