In die Geschichte einzutauchen ist immer wieder spannend. Am Beispiel der Ludovica Albertoni sieht man wie weit sich die katholische Kirche von ihren Urbildern entfernt hat.

Sundays Are For Walking

We always choose a long walk on Sundays. We have a book of walking tours and for today chose Trastevere as our destination. We have walked through Trastevere (Across The Tiber) dozens of times. But, it was fun to check out some of the details which we had not noticed on our more casuals walks through the area.

This is the church and monastery of Santa Maria dei Sette Dolori. It was designed by Borromini in 1643 for Donna Camilla Savelli Farnese. It was never finished. As the Farnese fortune declined so did the church funding. The monastery continued for many years and was used to hide Jews during the Holocaust. Today it is a hotel that carries her name, Hotel Donna Camilla Savelli. It is a curiosity because the entrance to the hotel is also the entrance to the church, which still exists.

The church vestibule copies the design of the small baths at Hadrian’s Villa, which we saw yesterday.

And the church is quite spectacular behind that drab exterior. The hotel looks very fancy too!

This is noted to be “the smallest house in Rome”.

This seemingly mundane looking church, St Francis on The Riverbank contains an exquisite Bernini statue. St Francis of Assisi is said to have spent time in the monastery attached to the church The church also contains what is believed to be the only portrait of the Saint, though its authenticity is in question.

Blessed Ludovica Albertoni was the last sculpture that Bernini did without assistance from his workshop. The subject was a Roman noblewoman who joined a convent after the death of her husband and was known for her good works amongst the poor of the city. She became a saint and this is the altar dedicated to her.

This restaurant, which I plan to try, is Spirito diVino. The building dates to 1035, when it was one of the early synagogues in Trastevere.

And most important of all, a Gelateria. This one, Fior di Luna, jumps into second place on my list of top Gelateria. The flavor and texture were perfect. The portions were smaller than usual, but that was offset by sugar cones, which are way better than the usual wafer cones. The master, Eugenio Morrone is an artist of the craft!

Golden Hour

Digital illustration commission. Closeups and bg info below

Finished up this commission I’ve been working on for the last couple weeks. The client had seen some of the work I’ve done based on other classic sculptures and wanted something similar. This one is based off of Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni. This piece was done as a funerary monument for an Italian noblewoman and was completed in 1674. 

 My client was planning on giving this as a gift and they had 2 requests. Try to incorporate the pan flag colors and give it some sapphic flavor. I’m pretty happy with how she turned out!

June 3- Time is beginning to run out

Today was our second to last day of classes, and it luckily felt like a regular normal day. The goal is not to think about the time here coming to an end. Instead, I gladly trekked around Rome and listened to my classmates and let the sun beat down on me once again.

We began at the Doria-Pamphilj Gallery. It was small but a very beautiful building. I sat and looked at the stone painting by Antonio Tempesta for quite a while. It was…literally astonishing. Being able to get inches from that to really soak in all that detail is something I really enjoy about spaces like this and I like that they placed it on the wall at eye level. The scene is so tumultuous, yet so easy to break apart. And the Raphael above it is hard to peel your eyes off of. Such a mesmerizing two works.

We stopped by Villa Farnesina for a moment. Fresco doesn’t catch my eye much like other things but I still find it absolutely incredible. I always want to touch it. After that, we stopped by a couple of churches. There are some amazing sculptural works in these places and not that many people inside of them. I don’t mind not being with a crowd all the time but do people even know? They are missing out incredibly.

We walked around and got food in the area after, went home and did some homework before trekking out again for Elsa’s birthday. She slipped on an orange and cut her knee and I couldn’t not laugh, even though it was her birthday. Sorry girl. We got our Trevi Fountain on though!

In order:

1. Unicorns!

2. You tell me what you think is wrong here…

3. Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere
