  • 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.

  • Interior of the Pazzi Chapel showing one corner with arched windows and terra cotta roundels by Luca della Robbia above them.   The grey edgings and  pilasters are of pietra serena, a specific type of stone from Fiesole.  Combined with the warm white walls they make an exquisitely serene space.  Some scholars now think that Berunelleschi was responsible for the design, and the building work was completed by others, such as Michelozzo.

  • 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!"

  • 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.

  • Lavenham townscapes and architecture: Little Hall, now a museum, was a house built in the 14th century, enlarged in the 16th century, and eventually housed several families.  Restored in the 1920s by the Gayer-Anderson twin brothers, in 1975 it was given to the Suffolk Preservation Trust.  See history and program at http://www.littlehall.org.uk/littlehall/index.htm.  It is the oldest house in Lavenham.

  • 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.
