First, all of us have been in Florence, for the traditional reasons, and incredible reasons they are! There's usually a reason for 'popularity' with the masses. Concentration on pure color and form is a bit more esoteric, the interest less based on pure travel to places that interest all and more to do with purer photography or, in your case, painterly focus, which is much more personal. Different perspectives on what is definitely amazing Art that's sustained interest through the centuries will tend to draw the first looks! We don't lose the amazement once we're gone but generally want to relive it in different ways. What did you see that others didn't, etc. What do you highlight.

I found it interesting that you all gravitated to this gallery first. (Along with many others, apparently.) Being a 'quaint color' nut, I guess, more than a 'traditional monument' person, I tend to forget how much others enjoy seeing the 'main sights'. Anyhow, thanks for your comments. (I'm not sure Margaret, which cherubs you mean--the Della Robbia's?

The photo of the sculpture above the Baptistery is really BEAUTIFUL.

To Robin: When posting from Margaret's ID, your own thoughts will show up, but under Margaret's name, but it's pretty clear the way you wrote! KAREN, I like seeing the two versions of one detail here and the closeups of everything! Beautiful. Glad to see you also shot mother and child in that external sculpture that otherwise I don't see often on the Net. Unusually beautiful shot of the sculpture above the Baptistery too.

I was visiting you from Margaret's site. She might have the same comments.

Great Job! Such clarity in the details of the duamo. There are some beautiful pieces in this gallery. Margaret and I visited this museum in 2001. Our favorite pieces were the cherubs. I would have wished you hadn't cropped so tight. But I know why, then you would have had to show some of the wall, since some figures go outside the the boundaries of the square.
