Cathedral Art
After sharing my graffiti photos yesterday, I thought I would spend today sharing some other art I photographed on my European travels. This time the focus is on cathedral art.

Wow, gorgeous picks! You have definitely done a lot more international travel than I have.
ReplyDelete@random I spent my junior year of college studying abroad in Cambridge, England so that helped boost my travels considerably.

Beautiful! I have always love the art and architecture of churches and cathedrals! Cologne Cathedral must have been wonderful, you have to love the German Gothic style :) A few years ago I was lucky enough to go to Italy with my Interior Design program and we visited so many wonderful churches and cathedrals. My favorite was the baroque San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome, but they were all gorgeous. I still want to make it to Istanbul someday to see the Hagia Sophia (it has such a rich and complex history in addition to its immaculate beauty), to Barcelona to see Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, and to go back to Italy to see the Sienna Cathedral. Thanks for sharing, you make me want to dust off my passport and get back out there :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those are beautiful! I took a few art history classes for fun in college (hooray for electives!) and I loved learning about this period. Just gorgeous.
