The Three Weeks Previous- Florence
Il Duomo. I lamentably didn't like the Florence Cathedral as much as I had hoped, but it still seemed amazing to see this structure that I had studied in both History of Architecture as well as Art History. The Baptistry doors however, were more than I had ever expected. They are truly amazing and beautiful!
The Rape of the Sabine Women- this twisting, energetic sculpture evokes a mixture of feelings for me. It is both terrible for the subject it portrays and marvelous for the beauty with which the writhing bodies inter-twine and push upward. It is one of my all-time favorite sculptures.
