The photos are totally amazing and show the wondrous nature of these frescoes, which also give us a glimpse to be found nowhere else, of the art of the ancient Romans that inspired them.

The Loggi...How did I arrive so late to the party?!<br /><br />The Loggia has long been one of my fascinations. We were obviously unsuccessful in seeing it when we visited the Vatican and were told we'd have to apply for permission and only if we were in academia. <br /><br />I'll also contribute! This is so exciting... and thanks for sharing!Annie at PlumSienahttp://www.plumsiena.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-43690392298238072542012-03-07T19:41:33.047-05:002012-03-07T19:41:33.047-05:00I have to say this: Every time I read your blog it...I have to say this: Every time I read your blog it makes me so happy that you have such passion for ornament and decorative painting. The love for the artistry is so needed in this world -- to continue it, to nurture it, to share it, to further it. To expect high standards and to share with us those who exemplify it and those who strive for it daily. Thank you.<br /><br />Sublime post, btw. The artistry makes my heart sing.Regina at Fauxologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760168237026772577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-47038748805862572362012-03-05T09:18:23.278-05:002012-03-05T09:18:23.278-05:00Don't know how you got such an opportunity,,,,...Don't know how you got such an opportunity,,,,but I will GIVE you my kid if you will share these on flicker!!!!

The time and detail put into these volumes are a great testimony to the massive appeal Raphael had well into the 19th century, after which he increasingly became less popular and now sits somewhat behind his Renaissance counterparts Leonardo and Michelangelo in the public eye. <br /><br />It is simply wonderful that writers online are giving us more detailed accounts of Raphael's legacy that can be accessed by all - content previously only discussed in specialist circles. Many thanks!<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />H Niyazi<br />3PipeProblemAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-66063602058321158432012-03-04T10:13:40.966-05:002012-03-04T10:13:40.966-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560121099807858945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-11481829585543744382012-03-04T10:13:16.604-05:002012-03-04T10:13:16.604-05:00Alan, you totally rock!

He looked at me like I asked if I could get naked and run around the museums!... as he answered in a very dry tone, 'no'.Jeff Huckabynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-36588900267532890602012-03-02T13:54:37.309-05:002012-03-02T13:54:37.309-05:00Indiana Carroll Strikes Again!

It'll take me a while to go through them all and crop, color correct each one. After all that work, I considered being greedy and keeping them to myself. But that wouldn't be fair.

I would gladly go in on it if another (of the 3) comes up for bidding soon- I already spent my kids' college education money anyways!<br /> How on earth did you get the opportunity to see this and spend time with it?
