Spring of Italy (2) (a) Florence

Spring of Italy (2)

Art City-Florence

Heures from Paris, a seed stops along the way, after a night's sleep in the morning around 7: 00 Morris everyone to wake up, we went into the mist of the highway's restaurant for breakfast, listening to Peter in the bark of Italian, looking at more than 2 000 lire a cup of coffee, aware: we got.

Florence old medieval buildings and outside to primary, style and diverse, scenery, common red roof, or beige, or colored marble walls, sparkling in the Sun, the streets-Garden, everywhere on the gate that the variety of mythological stone sculpture, exhibition with wings, spit at the fountain, the hands are full of the Holy Childhood, her ubiquitous art. places of the city, and the dissemination of the main attractions are concentrated in the old from the train station to the Royal Palace of this line. For tourists, the best way is to walk, you can thus enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also feel the local atmosphere, not to mention the person itself is a kind of landscape.

Walk and look

Well, the Tourist Office at the station, a free map and guide map, don't forget, this will allow you to pinpoint the focus, select attractions here is too much! out of the train station, to the North along the bustling shopping streets, you will be able to see the world famous Waltz of the Notre Dame Cathedral.

Speaking of the Church, there are many stories! his designers is Italy building new ideas first Philip. Nybro Nye, odd (1377-1446). He was born into a family of notaries public, blessed, art and crafts has a keen interest in his 20-year-old, when he was ready in sculpture, practice your talents, a competition prompted him to put the main energy into the building arts .1401 years, Buddhist city of baptism the Church held the second copper door Emboss design bidding, there were six sculptors compete, but Pluto Nye column Strib failed. persevering, he was soon felt the need to invest in a deeper study of classical art, so he went to Rome and his companions with a more intensive study, during this period he learned a lot the essence of ancient Roman architecture.

About 1420, rue des Antilles Beach, accepted the waltz of the Notre Dame Cathedral dome of design and construction of the church made him this talent and to discover the artistic style of play by design, the Church has a long in the temple, two rows of ear, leading to an octagonal altar of the Lecture Hall. small baptism Church from octagonal hall stretching outward on each side, like a flower petal Palace and ear-in-Office of the Church is extremely wide width. If traditional architecture approach, to build a temple and covering the ears in the vault requires a root length 43 meters, enough through the octagonal pulpit Hall of beam, or a matter of construction of the vault is on paper. However, such long beam is obviously missing. However, Brooke Nye, singular project regardless of people's sarcastic, breaking down the traditional thinking, has been at the forefront of the history of no bold, scientific design creation. He combines classic architecture of the arch and pillar system, of Byzantine architecture in the triangle arch arch architecture and Gothic architecture of curved ribs of the advantages of the system, create a spherical triangle intersection and Arch skeleton. He designed a two-layer shell of hollow dome structure, including the following layer thick shell bear heavy task, above a layer of relatively thin shell used for insulation and shelter. in order to guarantee the dome have sufficient hardness no deformation, bearing 8 root rafters in the octahedron the eight corner, link up with stone circles and with the top-the lighting towers, the entire building icing on the cake.

Waltz of the Notre Dame Cathedral's dome is the world's largest no pillars of the city of dome, 30 m, diameter 44 meters, is Italy's first Renaissance dome. today, stretch in Florence, the most dramatic skies, remains flower building of Notre Dame Cathedral Dome, it is the city's glorious flag and pride.

In addition, the Church at the top of the painting ' final judgment ', one of great aesthetically, it is worth admiring, slowly savor the taste.

The front of the Church, are white, red and green marble, sculpture, rose window, and mosaic composition, its spire and vivid carved a strong Gothic and Roman style in to see it, I never had such think marble buildings can be so beautiful, so beautiful, so magnificent, so spectacular.

The left side of the Church is the towering sky, Picciotto clock tower is Italy a genius artist father of European painting Picciotto masterpiece. 84.7 meters high Bell Tower, but also by the red and green marble blocks, many exquisite suffocating of the sculpture, the whole shape slender and graceful, his tone and baptism Church opposite to each other, is harmony perfect unity.

Waltz of the Notre Dame Cathedral Church, the opposite is baptism because queued for far too long, only looked outside, but it is said that baptism the Church's most famous is his heaven's door, top ten golden embossing is the Bible of ten stories.
