Our last big stop in Florence was Santa Croce, about which we blogged in 2011 at
http://roadeveron.blogspot.it/2011/06/san-croce.html. Here are just a few additional items.
 |
| Santa Croce from the Duomo |
 |
A better shot of the 14th century Donatello
Crucifixion that scared people |
 |
Yes, Santa Croce is the one that is sort of the national
pantheon of heroes... |
 |
Stern view, beautifully-painted timbered roof;
note the cat-walk that goes all the way around |
 |
| Bardi Chapel, Giotto, early 14th |
 |
Agnolo Gaddi's late 14th frescoes of The Finding of the True
Cross are still being worked on, but promise to be brilliant
when done |
 |
Correction department, again: a Donatello
Annunciation; not Donatellos tomb |
 |
In the Brunellechi-designed Pazzi Chapel; more harmony,
geometry, pietra serena, etc. |
 |
| Some of the ceiling, including della Robbias of the Evangelists |
 |
And what remains, after the 1966 floods, of Santa Croce's
July 4, 1442, skies... |
 |
Double-decker cloister, designed by
Brunelleschi |
 |
In the refectory, Taddeo Gaddi's Last Supper and Crucifixion
Tree |
