Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza
A baroque masterpiece. Built in 1642 by Francesco Borromini
The bright interior is made up of simple eye-catching convex and concave undulations.
Borromini is well known for his mixed use of the curved and the geometrical.
The sacrificial lamb, another one of my favorite images.
The church started out as the chapel for the University of Rome. Borromini was forced to adapt his design of the church with the already existing palace. So, he merged his church facade with the palace courtyard and created this beautiful space.
And now, a quick visit to San Bartolomeo all'Isola
The basilica of St. Bartholomew on the Tiber Island
Tomb of St. Bartholomew the Apostle
Some beautiful depictions of the Four Evangelists
Eagle: St. John
Lion: St. Mark
Angel: St. Matthew
Ox: St. Luke
And finally, the First Review Party!
....a good time had by all....many more to come....
