Ravenna: Mosaics and More
View allAll Photos Tagged RAVENNA
Art is everywhere - in the columns, the ceiling and the friezes of Ravenna's 6th Century AD Basilica di Sant Apollinare Nuovo. The mosaics are also superb.
Das derzeitige Wetter lädt nicht dazu ein, auf Fototour zu gehen. So versuche ich daher, Ordnung in meine Fotoausbeute 2018 zu bringen, was längst überfällig ist. Als erstes kommen meine "Mitbringsel" aus der Emilia Romagna dran.
Es ist der erste Zentralkuppelbau des Abendlandes und somit Ausgangspunkt seiner Sakralarchitektur.
526 war der Baubeginn, in dieser Zeit war Ravenna ostgotische Hauptstadt. Die Weihe fand aber erst 546 statt nachdem die Goten von den Byzantinern vernichtet wurden.
Sämtliche Zeugnisse von ostgotischer Mitwirkung wurden getilgt. Die Vorbilder für dieses Bauwerk liegen in der Sergius-Bacchus-Kirche im damaligen Konstantinopel. Vorbildcharkter ihrerseits hat sie für die Achener Pfalzkapelle usw...
Die Fresken sind teilweise im Barock angebracht worden.
Die Bedeutung des Bauwerks entsteht allerdings durch die byzaninischen Mosaiken.
Seit 1996 gehört das Bauwerk zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
the Ravenna Stream flows through the Ravenna Gorge which is roughly 4 km long and has got a lot of Waterfalls, it's a big tourist attraction.

UNHOLY BALAR - Horns w/ pumpkins
Theodoric the Great probably hoped to be remembered as a wise and just king, a defender of Roman civilization who united Romans and Ostrogoths under Roman law.
History had other plans.
His kingdom vanished, his tomb stands empty, and his image was probably erased from the mosaics of a church he built in Ravenna by the rulers who succeeded him.
Yet his mausoleum still stands after 1,500 years, an extraordinary monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the finest surviving examples of Ostrogothic architecture.
Perhaps his most enduring legacy is this silent stone monument...

MUSEO NAZIONALE.
Il Museo Nazionale di Ravenna ha sede nell'ex monastero benedettino di San Vitale. L’atmosfera dei due chiostri rinascimentali e degli spazi abbaziali, accessibili attraverso lo scalone settecentesco, conferisce particolare piacevolezza al percorso.
Il nucleo primitivo del patrimonio museale è costituito dalle collezioni formate, durante il Settecento, dai monaci camaldolesi di Classe poi arricchito attraverso donazioni, acquisizioni, ritrovamenti e scavi.

NATIONAL MUSEUM.
The National Museum of Ravenna is housed in the former Benedictine monastery of San Vitale. The atmosphere of the two Renaissance cloisters and the abbey spaces, accessible via the eighteenth-century staircase, lends a particularly pleasant experience.
The original core of the museum's holdings consists of collections formed during the eighteenth century by the Camaldolese monks of Classe, later enriched through donations, acquisitions, finds, and excavations.
