Spanish Chapel, 2013

In 2011, I incorporated a number of pix from the Spanish Chapel in the Santa Maria Novella post, http://roadeveron.blogspot.it/2011/06/santa-maria-novella.html. Understandably, since the chapel is a side-bar, off the cloister, from the main church. It's where the Spanish courtiers gathered. Anyhow, the frescoes covering its walls and ceiling are by Andrea di Bonauti, done between 1365-1370, and they are some of the most striking and complex of all, celebrating, mostly, the Dominicans. Here are a few in addition to what I posted in 2011.

First, possibly, a correction of something I posted in 2011:
starting at the left, the guy in the brown cloak is Cimabue,
Giotto's teacher; Giotto is next to him, in profile, in the green
hood; further right, in purple, holding a book, Boccaccio;
above him, in white hood, is Petrarch; further right of him,
in white cap, is Dante; yes, this will be on the quiz

The Florence Duomo...but wait...this representation has
flying buttresses...it was painted from a model of what the
under-construction church would look like; as observed
elsewhere, though they have their share of Gothic churches,
the Florentines thought flying buttresses unsightly and
avoided them

From the opposite wall, which is all about
St. Thomas stomping on infidels, heretics,
et al., here is Aristotle, representing philosophy

And from the ceiling, St. Lunkerus, patron saint of  fly fisherman

After Santa Maria Novella, we did our obligatory visit to the
market

And, on the way to Santa Croce, stopped by
the Orsanmichelle; here, Donatello's St. Mark
(or possibly St. Matthew, St. Luke, or St.
John; or possibly someone else)
