A little piece of old Venice still at work - the historic Squero di San Trovaso, keeping the craft of gondola building alive!

Apparently, the invitation list didn’t include the dog. He��s still hoping they’ll notice him!

We are doing everything we can to get on top of George’s issues.
It is another issue that has cost him today.

[Olivia.S.Mitchell @OW_S_M]

Don’t sleep tonight Mercedes…

Vienna proving that Gothic never really went out of fashion. It just waited a few centuries. (Votivkirche, 1856–1879)

The Great East Window of York Minster. Completed in 1408, it remains the world’s largest expanse of medieval stained glass!

A pilgrimage to Castle Howard: Brideshead Revisited still has one of the finest television adaptations ever made! Somehow, Sebastian still seems to be here…

From the medieval frescoes of Buffalmacco to the Renaissance and the Baroque of Caravaggio. A real Grand Tour in Italy.

Thanks to years of careful restoration, the four major frescoes are now far clearer than they were only a few years ago.

[Olivia.S.Mitchell @OW_S_M]

The Monumental Cemetery of Pisa is absolutely worth a journey of its own. It holds one of the largest fresco cycles in the world, with Buffalmacco as one of its finest voices and my personal favourite!

Had the Black Death never arrived, this might have been one of Europe’s most magnificent cathedrals.

Six centuries later, the republican echoes of Siena’s Good and Bad Government still linger in the Palazzo Pubblico.
In its pastoral landscapes, I was unexpectedly reminded of the Southern Song Gengzhi Tu -Pictures of Tilling and Weaving.

The other two paintings in the cycle are The Calling of Saint Matthew and Saint Matthew and the Angel.

[Olivia.S.Mitchell @OW_S_M]

Caravaggio’s The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. One of the earliest masterpieces of the Baroque!
The calm observer at the left is often believed to be a self-portrait of Caravaggio himself.

One of the few Gothic churches in Rome.
Its blue starry vault reflects a medieval vision of the celestial realm.
