Borromini Baroque Staircase (scala elicoidale)

Series: Places I love.

The young Francesco Borromini is supposed to have participated
in the design of this Baroque helicoidal staircase in the early years of 1600
assisting his uncle, the Barberini's architect Carlo Maderno.
What an "assistant".

Palazzo Barberini, Roma.

Note: another creative interpretation in Visions of a Stairway II

what an excellent convergence of arcs,spirals, composition and ofcourse the interesting play of lights and shadows that make each one of the pix in this gallery visual masterpieces.. you have the talent and inner eye Adalberto.. where most others 'look' with a logical mind you "see" with your inner eye and silence of the heart.. As can be seen in images in your varied galleries!!! local events, Zen Alps are all fantastic.... splendid work my friend Cheers feel free to visit/vote/post on may galleries at http://www.pbase.com/digitalfestival.

jude		27-Dec-2004 21:06
Oh, Adal! I can see why you'd fallen in love with it! It's beautiful... and I think you ARE capturing the essence... more.. i want to see more..

Guest		27-Dec-2004 05:09
Incroyable, époustouflant, évidemment le sujet aide mais votre approche avec le grand angle est très intéressante : j'ai toujours craint avec ce type d'objectif qu'il ne rentre trop d'éléments dans la photo ( et alors adieu aux consignes de Mies van der Rohe " less is more") or, tout ce que vous avez fait récemment avec cet objectif est étonnant et contredit ma crainte; c'est l'utilisation verticale que vous en faite qui me convainc, notamment pour la troisième photo, comme on en est au début, je vais être obligée de revenir ;-)
