This is the 16th-century church of
San Luigi dei Francesi, in
Rome.  I'm hoping to visit while I'm
here, to see once again the three
Caravaggios that feature
moments in the life (and death)
of St. Matthew.

[To see more churches from
around the world, go here.]

abc wednesday - A is for "artist"

Hard to choose one for this category!  In the end, 

I picked bad boy Michelangelo Merisi da CARAVAGGIO—

this is his "Calling of St. Matthew," one of three

 of his paintings in the church of San Luigi dei Francese, in

Rome.  (And one of 12 Caravaggios I saw on that trip to Italy, 

many of them in churches, where you don't have to pay

 to look and there aren't 30 other people 

sharing your viewing space.  Nice.)
