Ken, the statue Chimera, Dario Tironi really caught my eye as did the others in the grouping. It takes a very unique creative talent to make something that impressive from things we would often throw it. What a wonderful time you must have had to find all these treasures.

Nice pictures of well known art works and personalities. We have a wonderful and interesting culture in Europe, haven’t we. Glad, but not surprised, that some artists in Florence are inspired by their past. It actually happens frequently in our part of the world.

These pieces are sublime. I wasn’t aware of the more modern art, but that is interesting, too.

My art teacher friend has gone on at length how impressed she was by the statue of David. I’ve yet to make it to Italy, but can’t wait to see all that you have posted pictures of here.

The Rape of the Sabines statue is rather disturbing. I tried to identify the “setting” before reading the actual title!

Florence to me, was also the intellectual beacon of Europe. Its past, and its present, has always been around art, philosopher, and science. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures with us.

Art from different times in history is so fascinating. It is the only way we can get a glimpse into their lives and their beliefs. Generations from now, people will be able to look back at us via photographs, films, and television shows. But for most of history, artwork was some of the most revealing artifacts left behind. I’ve never been to Florence but these all seem worth checking out.

Some background music would go well with this post – Florence was the birthplace of opera, after all.

I recall a lot of copycat Davids around Florence. Such a classy city is Florence (Firenze)! Il Ponte Vecchio (“the old bridge”) was a favourite of mine.
