A close-up photograph captures a brown double door nestled in an aged, light brown brick wall. The door, crafted from wood, is adorned with numerous dark metal studs and features two lion head door knockers. Above the door, a semi-circular window is framed by a matching archway. The window is divided into small panes by a grid of metal bars, with a central design reminiscent of a flower or a starburst. To the right of the door, a small black sign displays the white numeral "6". The brick wall extends beyond the door, showing variations in color, with the section to the right of the door appearing to be a pale yellow. The bricks themselves are uneven in shape and size, adding to the building's rustic charm. The photograph's lighting suggests an overcast day or a shaded location, as the colors are muted and there are no harsh shadows.

A grand wooden door, rich brown and accented with lighter decorative panels, stands within a wall of large, light sandy bricks. Above the door, a fanlight of ornate wrought iron glows with a warm yellow light. This arched window is framed by the same pale stone that surrounds the door, contrasting with the rough texture of the brickwork. A small rectangular sign to the right of the door bears the number "9".


So I know in the scheme of things this is hardly a serious issue.... but:

as some of you may have seen the Vasari Corridor (linking the Uffizi & the Pitti Palace) in Florence is to open to the public (previously entrance was limited).

All well & good but currently the walls are reportedly bare, and they are exploring what to hang on them.

But, when we visited some years ago it still held the museum's famous, extensive collection of artist self-portraits; where have they gone?

#Florence #art


Working for a couple of month in and around Florence (great train links ) I used to see the Ponte Vechio at least once a day. Now that it is open, we must see whether we can organise a trip back in the new year.
