By this point in our trek, I was pretty tired of taking video. I'm not a videographer, so a lot of the shots I took were too sweeping or too fast. My main go...

For those of you who are as in love with the art and culture of the Italian Renaissance, I hope you can enjoy these photographs I took from our visit to the Pitti Palace, the home of the Medici. I often find that photographs of paintings / museums hold a different energy and feel compared to the professional photographs of paintings you can find online. It’s different when you can get a feel for the way the light plays with the paintings, and how they sit in a room filled with all the other paintings and sculptures of the era.

Fun tid-bit about the painting above: artists in this time often worked on designing parties for the wealthy. This painting actually depicts one of the largest parties ever thrown. I don’t remember the title or the date, but I just love that the artists of the time helped with party decorations, and then after the fact, immortalized it into a painting.
