Cloisters of San Paolo f.l.m. in Rome

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery.

I don't think anyone else's Wrapped looks like this (whether that's a relief or a shame, I'll leave you to decide).

My (not very good) picture of the doors of Santa Sabina (late fourth century), likely western Europe's oldest wooden object, excluding archaeological finds. #woodensday

My visit of the (deconsecrated, partly ruined) church of Santa Maria Antiqua has been perhaps the most profound spiritual experience of my adulthood.

IN PRINCIPIO (in the beginning).
Anchin Bible, early 12th century. One of the loveliest carpet pages I'm aware of.

The Great Schism seems to have escaped the notice of Latin artists, as this breviary made about 1100 at the Abbey of Montecassino in a very Byzantinizing style shows. The miniature shows the presentation of Jesus in the Temple (Candlemas).

I'm going to start posting art I enjoy (with a focus on the mediaeval period).

In this initial from Florentine a book of Lauds ca. 1300-1310, the Wise Kings look in amazement at the Star of Bethlehem. The style in strongly inspired by that of Giotto (who never painted books).

Post a pic YOU took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
