L'interno della Cappella degli Scrovegni a Padova

The interior of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua.
The interior of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua is one of the masterpieces of Western art, thanks to the frescoes by Giotto created between 1303 and 1305.
The chapel is decorated with a cycle of frescoes that covers approximately 700 m², narrating the life of the Virgin Mary and Christ in 39 episodes³. These frescoes are arranged in three overlapping registers along the walls of the nave.
The vault is painted in an intense blue, symbol of the sky, and decorated with golden stars³.
On the counter-façade is the majestic fresco of the Last Judgement, with Christ the Judge in the centre, surrounded by angels, saints and the damned³.
In the lower part of the main walls are represented monochrome allegories of the Vices and Virtues, which guide the observer towards the Last Judgement³.
In the upper register are narrated the stories of Mary's parents, Joachim and Anna³.
The two middle registers tell the life and miracles of Christ, from the Nativity to the Resurrection³.

The Scrovegni Chapel is an extraordinary example of how art can tell sacred stories through powerful and engaging images, profoundly influencing European painting of the fourteenth century³.

Le case che si affacciano sui canali di Venezia.
Percorrendo a bordo di uno dei molti battelli il centro di Venezia, lo sguardo (e l’obiettivo della mia macchina) si posa sulle belle casette che si affacciano sul canale.
