Saint Peter's basilica in Rome is so over-the-top that you almost don't know where to look—I actually like the lack of stained glass in those high demi-lune windows that let the clear light illuminate all that ornate embellishment.

Yes, those clear windows allow those brilliant sun-lit patches to really shine.
ReplyDeleteI was curious about the clock on the right with only six Roman numerals. Thanks to Google Translate I found this: “Two clocks 1787/90 by Giuseppe Valadier (1762/1839)...The clock on the right started the counting of hours from sunset with four full turns of the hand per day. It was a bizarre system of measuring time used in Rome until 1846.”
Who knew? Seriously, that's fascinating. Thanks, TG.
DeleteThank you for this photo. This is a view of St. Peter's Basilica we seldom see.
ReplyDeleteThe mix of light and shadows adds a touch of holiness to the scene.
