The Medici didn’t collect art by chance.

In Palazzo Pitti, they built an empire of beauty.

This is what Gothic looked like before the Reformation.

Light. Color. Heaven above your head.

— This is only a fragment of Notre-Dame de Rouen.

Rows of saints.
Gothic tracery.
Stone carved like a manuscript page.

Rouen, Normandy.

Observe where everyone is looking…

— Gothic architecture was built to flood the space with light.

the structure forces your eyes up, and the stained glass tells the story. https://t.co/rUpUEEXkw1

In Florence, I noticing a clear contrast.

Inside churches, sculptures focus on sacrifice, faith, and devotion. Outside, in public spaces, the message changes.

— Here, sculpture speaks of power, control, and authority. 📸:Abs https://t.co/rrNK8tGFCC

Exploring the wonders of old Christendom and seeking beauty in art and travel. Whatsoever things are lovely . . . . It is good to think on these things.
