Subject: RE: BS: What is 'Heaven and Hell'?
Dammit, IanC posted a link that contained a reference to the superb fresco in Vank Cathedral. I wanted to reply by linking to my photobucket pic of the incredible mosaic on the back wall of the cathedral in Torcello, Venice, but this website won't let me make a flippin' link! Tell me what to do, somebody! Here's my link anyway. [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c268/SteveShaw1951/P1010141_zps7ebbc064.jpg[/IMG] The mosaic is far more impressive than the photo suggests (we weren't allowed to take our own pics so this is a pic of a pic). The large doors at the bottom give an idea of scale. My missus couldn't drag me away. The next day she had the same issue when I stood gawping for over half an hour at a Titian Virgin and Child in the Accademia gallery in Venice.
