  • Annunciation by Luca della Robbia is set into the arched vault of the Ospedale degli Innocenti.  The "Della Robbia blue" covers the background of the white figures of the angel and Mary.

  • Early Renaissance architecture: the key figure is Filippo Brunelleschi.  His Ospedale degli Innocenti (Foundling Hospital, (1419-ca.1445), is the first major monument of his elegant classical style with its arches and colonnades.  This is the courtyard inside, its serene colonnade arching over a potted orange tree.

  • Brunelleschi's courtyard of the Ospedale degli Innocenti is a perfection of proportion.  In this view inside a colonnade,  a window reflects the exterior of the courtyard colonnade.  A wooden bench suggests repose in this quiet place.

  • Closeups of faces in the crowd in Ghirlandaio's Adoration of the Magi.  His style has stronger lines and more insistent detail than we have seen before.  Many are probably portraits of specific individuals.  As my friend Patsy said, "they're so gossipy!"

  • I could not decide between a horizontal and vertical picture, so I did both.

  • One part of the Ospedale degli Innocenti interior is a museum of paintings and sculpture.  This view through an elegantly arched doorway with a flat cornice looks toward Ghirlandaio's famous Adoration of the Magi. The plaque on the floor is a memorial to one of the hospital administrators.  Next to it lies my forgotten guidebook.

  • Brunilleschi's next major work after the Ospedale degli Innocenti was the Pazzi Chapel, next to the Santa Croce basilica, from 1441-1460.  The Pazzi family, rich Florentine bankers, conspired against the Medici brothers Lorenzo and Giuliani. In 1478 they succeeded in murdering Giuliano during mass in the cathedral.  Lorenzo escaped and became subsequently "Lorenzo the Magnificent."  The Pazzi chapel, however, is a gem of serene beauty.  This exterior shot is the usual one shown in books.  A few tourists come and go on the approach path.
