Ceiling of the Golden Room (1452) - Benedetto Bembo (1423-1489) -Castle of Torrechiara
Il Castello di Torrechiara (Emilia-Romagna) è uno degli esempi più belli di architettura feudale civile del XV secolo nel nord Italia. Fu eretto tra il 1448 e il 1460 sulle rovine di un precedente fortilizio. Il castello è famoso soprattutto per la storia d'amore poetica che qui è stata vissuta e immortalata nei dipinti nella sua Camera d'oro.
La Camera d'Oro è una delle poche camere risalenti al passaggio dal Medioevo al Rinascimento ancora conservata relativamente intatta. Il tema degli affreschi è basato su una storia d'amore vera e propria, quella di Pier Maria Rossi e Bianca Pellegrini.
Le pareti della camera d'Oro sono coperte fino ad un'altezza di circa 3 metri con piastrelle di terracotta. Il ciclo pittorico della Sala d'oro è il monumento di una storia d'amore. I quattro incontri tra Bianca Pellegrini e il suo amante, raffigurati nelle lunette, rappresentano quattro diverse fasi della loro relazione.
The Castello di Torrechiara (Emilia-Romagna) is one of the most beautiful examples of feudal, secular architecture from the fifteenth century in northern Italy. It was erected between 1448 and 1460 on the ruins of an earlier fort. The castle is most famous for the poetic love story that was played out here and is immortalized in the paintings in its Sala d'Oro (Golden Room).
The Golden Room is one of the few secular rooms dating from the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance still preserved relatively intact. The subject matter of its paintings is based on an actual love affair, that of Pier Maria Rossi and Bianca Pellegrini.
The walls of the Golden Room are covered, up to a height of roughly 3 m to the springing of the vaulting ribs, with terracotta tiles. The pictorial program of the Golden Room is a monument to a love affair. The four encounters between Bianca Pellegrini and her lover depicted in the lunettes represent four different stages in their relationship.
Photographed from below directly up to the ceiling of the room. I liked the shadows cast. Photographed without daylight and without flash, but with 16,000 ISO.
Barcelona. Request for one of these made me go back and look at all the photos I took that day. What a beautiful place.
Main ceiling at the Annapolis Mall (Maryland). The black "oblisk" is massive. About 75 feet / 25 meters per side. Symmetry. On a side note, it's hard to comprehend how large this structure is when you see it in person!

The rich color, distinctive iconography and beauty of the interior of an Orthodox Church generally are in sharp contrast to the simplicity which one finds in many Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. When one enters the interior of the Orthodox church it is like stepping into a whole new world of color and light. The art and design of the church not only create a distinctive atmosphere of worship, but they also reflect and embody many of the fundamental insights of Orthodoxy

This photo is not as crisp as possible, but I wanted to capture the amazing ceiling detail. The light in the Library of Congress was challenging and I was using a point-n-shoot Canon. But I wanted to upload this as it reminded me of some of the ceilings in the Paris Opera House.
Another large Italian 6 day tour. Eventful to say the least.
