The marble & bronze sarcophagus memorial for Cardinal Pietro Foscari (d 1485) looks incongruous in the Costa Chapel, Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome That’s because it was originally in the Foscari Chapel, which was demolished in 1600 The 1505 altarpiece by Gian Cristoforo Romano is also magnificent

Close up view of Spoleto Cathedral’s beautiful facade and striking Byzantine style mosaic, which depicts Christ giving a Benediction, signed & dated 1207 by Solsternus. He called himself an outstanding modern artist, as evidenced by his inscription “Doctor Solsternus, hac summus in arte modernus.”

The upper stage of the porch interior at St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol is the finest (only?) example of Medieval Gothic Brutalism 🧐
