Uffizi, 2017: Renaissance Fun, 1

Continuing our fun day at the Uffizi, November 2...
The building and its many rooms are often as interesting as the contents


At the clubhouse turn; the construction crane has been there since
1979, at least

In the long hall by the river

A Mantegna, Scenes from the Life of Jesus; the panel on the right is a Circumcision

Up high across the river, the Church of San Miniato...best place to view Florence

River City; from the Uffizi

"This Space Available" "Your Painting Here"

So if the Perfectly Pure Pigeon of Paradise poops on your head, is it a sign of favor?

Where can I buy some pants like these?

In the classical sculpture hall, a bust of Aristotle




















































































































Bust of a classical hobbit

Mr. Twisty (M. Buonarroti) Holy Family

We always look forward to anything from the School of
Fontainebleau...at the Louvre, they're pinching other parts

In the Hark! Hall

Nice ceiling treatment (the Uffizi was the Office of the Medici
Corp.)
