  • The Baptistry dome interior has spectacular mosaics, still very Byzantine in style, made during the 13th century.  I have not seen any attribution to any one artist, though it is said that the painter Coppo di Marcovaldo made some of the cartoons.

  • Brunelleschi is most famous for building the dome of the cathedral.  This monument has been so often photographed that I think it's impossible to find a new way of presenting it.  This is the best I could to at the time, showing part of the dome with a view along the south side of the nave, with scaffolding on the exterior of the south apse.

  • The fresco in the smaller dome at left, over the altar, represents the sky in Florence on July 4, 1442 according to astronomers.  Together the dome interiors, medallions, and arches, form a complex of circular and angular shapes.  Attending to what is going on in the ceiling, it is not clear where the eye must rest.

  • Looking up toward the dome of a small Greek Orthodox church in Ayvalik, Turkey, abandoned after the Greek-Turkish population exchange in 1923.  A priest from Lesbos comes over occasionally to offer a service here.   Since the early Gothic period in France, the holy spirit has been envisioned as being carried on light.   Here my deliberate manipulation of the high contrast of the image is means to illustrate this concept.

  • Yet another town house residence is the Casa Buonarotti, where the great Michelangelo's descendants maintained a home and a collection not only of his works but of other important artists.  The third floor consists of the residential area, a series of charming small rooms, decorated in 17th and 18th century style.   This charming dome drew my attention as a dome-collector, and the guard was willing to look the other way when I asked to make a picture, as long as I used no flash.  It has a delightful Rococo frivolity balanced with a severe geometric container.
