Detail of the gorgeous hidden gem that is Properzia de' Rossi's silver filigree crest of the Grassi family, dated 1510-30, and housed in the #MuseoCivicoMedievale in Bologna! #NigelsItalianAdventures #properziaderossi #filigree #arthistoriansontour A most terrifying depiction of Heaven and Hell, painted in fresco by Jacopo di Paolo and Giovanni da Modena for the Cappella de Re Magi in San Petronio. #NigelsItalianAdventures #sanpetronio #giovannidamodena #jacopodipaolo #fresco #affreschi #heaven #hell #lucifer #arthistoriansontour Guercino's humble Saint Francis of Assisi! #NigelsItalianAdventures #guercino #saintfrancisofassisi #baroque #sangiovanniinmonte #arthistoriansontour The Basilica di San Vitale is certainly something else! #NigelsItalianAdventures #basilicadisanvitale #ravenna @ravennamosaici #ravennamosaici #mosaic #arthistoriansontour The Baroque followed me to Ravenna, it would seem! Here's 'Moses collecting manna amidst the Jews' (1614-16) by Guido Reni in the Cappella del Santissimo Sacramento in the Duomo of Ravenna. #NigelsItalianAdventures #duomodiravenna #guidoreni #baroque #arthistoriansontour Blown away by the Neonian Baptistery in Ravenna! #NigelsItalianAdventures #neonianbaptistery #battisteroneoniano #mosaic @ravennamosaici #ravennamosaici #arthistoriansontour If you're not Baroque in Bologna, you're doing it wrong. #NigelsItalianAdventures #baroque #annibalecarraci #ludovicocarracci #agostinocarracci #guercino #domenichino #guidoreni @pinacoteca_bologna #pinacotecanazionaledibologna #arthistoriansontour No words can describe how awesome it felt to see Raphael's 'Ecstasy of Saint Cecilia' (1515-16) again! Revisiting the church of San Giovanni in Monte, where the original frame still stands, was a nostalgic moment, having presented on the painting nearly 2 years ago inside that very chapel where the patron Elena Duglioli dall'Olio's body sleeps on the right wall. There was one thing which struck me upon first seeing this altarpiece at the @museelouvre #LateRaphael exhibition: the incredible golden luminosity of Saint Cecilia's dress! #NigelsItalianAdventures #raphael #raffaellosanzio #ecstasyofsaintcecilia #lestasidisantacecilia #pinacotecanazionaledibologna @pinacoteca_bologna #raphaelnerd #saintcecilia #santacecilia #arthistoriansontour Palazzo Pepoli Campogrande. Easily one of the overlooked jewels of Bologna! Shown here is the Salone d'onore, frescoed by Domenico Maria Canuti around 1669-71. #NigelsItalianAdventures #palazzopepolicampogrande #fresco #affreschi #domenicomariacanuti #arthistoriansontour
