Baptistery of S. Giovanni in Siena - Baptismal font sent on 03 Febbraio 2018 (1:01) by Gios. 33 comments, 1707 views.

, 1/13 f/4.5, ISO 800, hand held.

Scatto eseguito con scarsa luce e senza l'ausilio di cavalletto (vietato). All'interno del Battistero di S.Giovanni nel duomo di Siena, in posizione centrale, si staglia il Fonte Battesimale, straordinaria opera in marmo, bronzo e smalto realizzata tra il 1417 e il 1431 dai maggiori scultori del tempo quali Giovanni di Turino, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Donatello, Jacopo della Quercia. Il Fonte è costituito da una vasca esagonale in cui si inseriscono i sei specchi in bronzo dorato raffiguranti la vita del Battista, scanditi dalle statue della virtù di cui due, Fede e Speranza, realizzate da Donatello. Fra gli episodi più rappresentativi assume un particolare rilievo il Battesimo di Gesù di Lorenzo Ghiberti del 1427, elegante e raffinata scena caratterizzata da un pittoricismo e un senso prospettico ottenuti grazie al rilievo schiacciato. Il ciclo si conclude con il celebre rilievo realizzato da Donatello nel 1427, che rappresenta il Banchetto di Erode, la scena più commovente per la drammaticità del soggetto e le qualità formali.

Or how true your words Loris are. And then there was a gentleman who pontificated:
with the culture you do not eat.
Gaffes resounding my friend. And art is a fundamental component of a people's culture. Thanks for the nice comment.
bye gios ;-)

Thanks for the ride Joeb, always welcome.

But how did you see that Elly got fat? Do you have occult powers? It's true, but it's my fault. Unfortunately I have problems and I can not dedicate much time to free time. But I hope to redo soon so the fat will drop a few pounds. :-D

A magnificent shot that puts in vision this magnificent work of 15th century art.
Where you can admire beautiful vaults and magnificent frescoes, but the most important work,
is the baptismal font, perfectly described by your introduction by Gios.
Very good Gios my compliments, a dear greeting from Mario.
