Florence - you lucky so-and-so!
My favourite of those panels is the Salome one - but the closest I ever got to it was the facsimile on the backstairs in the Museum of Scotland.
Hope you didn't get Cultural Fatigue! Was your husband with you? I wonder if an architect would find Florence humbling, frustrating or inspiring?
Ha! You clever thing you!
Yes, my husband was with me (and no children) so it was a relaxing trip, and somewhat cheaper than we have been used to for what seems like a lifetime! We enjoyed pleasing ourselves for a few days.
Florence was everything he hoped for artistically and architecturally, though it made him wistful for the patronage of rich and influential families which produced the impressive detailing we still enjoy there today.
Ha! And entirely at the whim of capricious, inter-bred megalomaniacs - it cuts both ways...
If he starts decorating his work with naked statues, you'll know it's *really* had an effect...
