I can't wait to see the Sistine Chapel sometime. I'm pretty sure that I'll be blown away even after seeing pics of it for years.

All the while I was writing it, I couldn't help but think of one of my all-time favorite movies, "The Agony and the Ecstasy" where Pope Julius II kept asking the master, "When will you make an end of it?" I posed that same question to myself my written journey. But it was all worth it in the end! Thanks again for stopping by and for your kind compliments!

I love how you compare your journey with his. I think the metaphor is apt because with your amazing photographs and prose, you are the master of European travel blogging just like Michelangelo was the master at whatever craft he put his mind to.Traveling Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211295176099910377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826427635728597931.post-9334100049046324402014-05-21T10:20:52.278-04:002014-05-21T10:20:52.278-04:00Hi Marcia and thank you so much for your kind comp...Hi Marcia and thank you so much for your kind compliments!

We visited the Vatican Museums when we were in Rome and I was thrilled to be able to see the Sistine Chapel in person - even though it was incredibly crowded. I had a similar emotional reaction to what you described when we walked into the Basilica - the beauty is overwhelming and I agree that The Pieta is one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. Hopefully we will get to Florence soon to see Michelangelo's works there as well.Lisa @ Gone with the Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537179342752290204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826427635728597931.post-220184314508744752014-05-18T11:00:54.274-04:002014-05-18T11:00:54.274-04:00Hi there Marlys!

Couldn't agree with you more about my passion for Michelangelo, my inspiration was recently fueled by watching "The Agony and Ecstasy" over and over again since Easter! LOL! I really love that movie!<br /><br />I am thrilled that you have been to most of these places!! My only regret is missing San Lorenzo in Florence, and I've been in that city twice. <br /><br />Haven't heard about the cracks in his ankle but I believe the weight is also distributed to the tree stump behind David's right leg. I'll need to check more into this! Thanks for letting me know. <br /><br />Finally, thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words!

I haven't been a big fan of Renaissance art (too enamored/distracted by other periods, honestly) but you've revived my interest in delving further into this influential era and artist. I can't believe I've actually seen almost all the pieces and places in this post. Thrilling to see the Sistine Chapel all cleaned up; I haven't seen it since the cleaning. What color!!!! Have you heard recent reports that the David statue is weakening/forming cracks in the ankle as that's where all the sculpture's weight rests? :( Very worrisome.<br />Terrific post, Jeff. I look forward to more of your new ArtOdysseys!<br />Lesley Petersonhttp://www.culturetripper.comnoreply@blogger.com
