Grand Entrance





The scale and beauty of the art and architecture I saw in Italy was awe-inspiring. Two images of a grand scale are unified in this piece to exemplify this. One is a photo of a large sculpture of a man and horse in the Piazza del Campidoglio (a courtyard that was designed by Michelangelo). The other is taken looking upward through an entrance into St. Peter’s Basilica.

Emergence


It is hard to believe just how much art I saw in Italy. The aesthetic beauty encompasses not just the large, famous pieces, but also, when you look closely, the smaller elaborate details that embellish the architectural landscape. This piece is made up of two such examples. One image shows the sculptural reliefs surrounding a fountain, called Fonte Gaia, in the Piazza del campo (city square) in Siena. The other image is of a small, rather insignificant dragon at the base of a grand sculpture in St. Peter’s Basilica.

This piece was in my Impressions of Italy show and is now on exhibit in Michele Waalkes ARTS  located on the main floor of 2nd April galerie and Studios at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW, Canton, OH 44702. Hours are Tuesday- Saturday 10am - 6pm.
