This kind of work is just stupefying. I was in Mondovi, Italy (in the Piemonte region) in 2009 when the Andrea Pozzo frescoes were being restored in San Francis Xavier. We couldn't get in since everything was (more or less) blocked off for the restoration. But I managed to squeeze through the chains on the door and get a peek. That ceiling was off-the-charts amazing! Even in the fading daylight it just took my breath away. <br /><br />Thank you for this post!<br /><br />Cletascooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560121099807858945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-86529276445710544062012-03-18T19:44:17.541-04:002012-03-18T19:44:17.541-04:00nice.

If you are like 5'2" tall it's perfect. This tour de force is IMO equally matched by the ceiling murals in the Jesuitenkirche in Vienna, which crashes right into gilt plaster ornaments. <br />I do think there are one or two painters living who could do something like this if they were given the budget, time, and resources needed to pull it off. But a commission like this could only really come from the kind of situation the spawned counter-reformation explosion of theatrical interiors, not the least of which is seemingly limitless support from the ultimate client. Thanks for the fabulous link--- archive.org is probably wondering why all the hits to their site all of a sudden. heh.Lynne Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861049506323014982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-21096537232748744602012-03-18T15:13:46.684-04:002012-03-18T15:13:46.684-04:00Alan this is the kind of art that has always perpl...Alan this is the kind of art that has always perplexed me. To achieve the perspective needed for a ceiling as the ceiling of San Ignacio; genius. I would love to see any work that you create from Pozzo's instructions.<br /><br />xoxo<br />Karena<br />Art by KarenaKarenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206642885608991170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-63423630425784311422012-03-18T14:58:19.611-04:002012-03-18T14:58:19.611-04:00Brilliant, Alan!
