A true feast for the eyes,heart and intellect! What a lovely way to spend the beginning of a day in Florence, amazingly beautiful art to keep one inspired for many days. I hope you enjoy many more mornings like this !!
Yes, I don’t tire of popping in and walking through. At Christmas there’s a large nativity scene inside, complete with fake snow descending from above.
love it Chandi!
Ciao Mary, glad you enjoyed it!
I wish I could explore Florence with you Chandi! I so appreciate your art knowledge and attention to detail. I have always wanted to visit all of Michelangelo’s sculptures as described in The Agony and the Ecstasy. I am sure you would be the perfect guide. Glad you are enjoying everything so much. Your enthusiasm is contagious!!
Lets do it Melisa!
Florence is my dream destination!!! Hopefully I will eventually make it there and when I do I will be sure to check out all the churches you have mentioned – thanks for the tips!
Hi Laura, thanks for stopping by and I hope you will be able to visit Florence. If you need any advice, let me know. I offer a free 40 minute consult!
This post reminded me of our wonderful day in Florence. We really must go back as we barely scratched the surface. I think next time I will read up more on art in the city to get a full appreciation of all the city has to offer.
I really enjoyed reading this! You describe things with such detail and clearly have incredible knowledge and passion for what you’re talking about. I loved learning so many new things. And that Filippo Lippi painting is so beautiful. I love the colors! Can’t wait to get to Florence and see this in person.
Great Erin! I am glad it inspired you!
We were in Florence only for two days and unfortunately missed this treasure trove of art. I am really overwhelmed by the wooden crucifix and Jesus, wonderful example of the mastery of Michael Angelo. Loved your description and analysis, great post.
Hi,
Yes, two days will only give you a basic overview of the city. If you start digging into the art that is there, you’ll find that a year is not enough!
You’re totally right! I only had 5 days in Florence, but I know that I barely scratched the surface. There’s just so much incredible history to be discovered!
I actually love the unique facade of Santo Spirito, i love its simplicity. And wow I was surprised to see what’s inside. Love the art of this church 🙂
I can’t imagine how bright those colours are in real life! Italy is just filled with spectacular art, Rome’s churches blow me away. Have to give Florence a try 🙂
Yes, the restoration made a world of difference!
