Senza dubbio, un grande capolavoro senza pari. Ero sbalordito quando ho visto questo agli Uffizi

To actually see this painting at the Uffizi is a profound experience. At least for someone who appreciates the great artistic achievement. Someone with a pedestrian attitude about authentic beauty in historical context could never comprehend that.

@@rr7firefly, I agree. I went to the Uffizi gallery recently while I was visiting Florence, and it was magnificent to see it in person.

Super appropriate post-church video - I appreciate the smooth transition, lol.
If I was taken aback by the facial expressions of the last video... Mary's expression doesn't quite track with this moment. 😅
It's absolutely gorgeous, though. I love the just-landed drape, the speech bubble, the red and blue of Mary's clothing, their halos, etc. Really beautiful details throughout.

This was a great listen.

The speak of the angel is: "Hail, Mary, full of grace The Lord is with you"

In another smart history video they say Gabriel is holding a laurel branch, here they say its an olive branch, which is right?
